photo is soft

[lanpie01]

I had one photo being rejected this morning for being soft. I am looking at the photo and I am not sure in which area it is soft.

Can someone advise me in which area the photo is soft ?

Thank you.

The whole plane. Really does look like it hasn't been sharpened.

I did USM 50%, .3 and 0 twice. On my screen, it does not look unsharpened.

Just give it a tad more shapening and it should be sorted

Looks like it was taken at a very high focal lenth. That will cause you to lose a lot of sharpness.

Hi Pierre,

I just saved a copy of the image posted above and hit it with 2 more passes of USM @ 150% radius 0.2, threshold 0 and it looks a lot better a only a tiny bit jagged in places so a total of 200% would be better. I did adjust the colour slightly as the shot does have the trademark Nikon blue hue that also helped. Working with the original would be better though.

You have your in-camera processing for contrast set to "HARD"...........not ideal.
