JuklicekCZ - Pre-Screening advice

[dlowwa]

Indeed, even though I have added quite a bit, it did not seem too much noticeable, but maybe it is caused by my workflow.
I was adding the sharpening in ligthroom into the RAW file with use of approximately 90% masking.
Is there a a better way how to?
I have tried also to sharpen the already down-scaled exported jpeg, but it seemed to methat the shot was then quite terrible right after the import without any sharpening.
Shall I then be sharpening the shots after importing jpeg as a DNG or is there a better way?

I don't know if it's 'better', but while there is default sharpening applied when exporting from the raw file, any extra (there is usually extra for JP) I do to the jpeg.

Don't see a huge difference, tbh, but it would be ok for me.

Ok, thank you,
Tried adding more texture and sharpening in lightroom, is this ok?
Are there any other potential borderline issues.

Borderline soft for me. I would simply add more sharpening and try again.

Hello, please don't take this offensively, I would just like to discuss a rejection.
I have received this rejection for being soft.

To be honest this photo was rejected twice, first was rejected for missing C/N even-though, C/N is optional parameter, but ok, however it did not anyhow mention sharpness.
So I accepted the C/N problem and uploaded it again with the C/N but it got rejected because of being soft.
Thus I wanted to ask, whether the soft rejection is correct as to me it did not seem too soft to be an issue also with respect to the fact, that it is a first registration and the first rejection did not mention it.
If it is a problem would it be acceptable in a lower resolution?

Thanks and what about these?
Here the CASA is lit much more.

1. contrast, borderline soft
2. soft, borderline noisy
3. borderline contrast/soft

Thanks, would this one be better?
It is a subseuent shot.

Don't see much difference.

For 4 and 5, borderline too little?

Borderline due to overcast conditions.

Not much difference from the rejected.
