Just cropped it down, but to me this moon shot seems kind of soft?

It was taken with an EOS 20D, 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM lens, on a tripod.

Shutter was 1/60th,
F/5.6
300mm
ISO 100.

I did partial metering, set it on one shot focus.

Does it look soft to anyone else? Would this be becuase of slight camera shake or wind, or is it just the lesser expensive lens not looking so great out at 300mm?

Thanks so much for the tips!

You don't need to shoot the moon wide open. It's in the "daylight"! ;-)
