it's all relevant. 1/400th only means something when all else is known..
You may have needed 1/400th just to stop camera shake and everything else needs to fall into place because of that.. so then, what kind of shot can you take if you need the shutter speed to keep the image sharp? Well, then you're definitely needing to open up the aperture or increasing the ISO , thus losing sharpness.. Give and take...
So, what is the EXIF data? |

Thanks for the help! I think because of not much time to react, I was making sure I was getting the shutter speed fast enough to stop the canoe. Maybe it didn't need to be 1/400? |

I suspected it was late afternoon but, it might as well have been mid-day because the light is/was bad.. If you have too, drop the ISO, decrease the aperture and maybe increase the exposure. Though, clearly the subject is the canoeist so, don't confuse the subjects in my opinion. Just know that tight crops are perfectly fine for landscape shots. Wide-angle will often loose detail in the background and muddle the foreground if it's too far away, as is the case in this shot.
Like I said before, I certainly wouldn't kill myself over it. It's just one of many more to come I'm sure  |

It was shot at 7:15 PM, hardly mid-day. I didn't even get in the car till 7:00 PM. I like your crop, but at the time I thought I needed the trees on the left. I just don't get many opportunities for landscape shots here, so not much practice. |
