No editing halos visible, but very soft, almost blurry.

can sharpening or noise reduction fix it?

No idea how noise reduction would help softness, and the effect of sharpening would depend on the quality of the original.

How does one fix this?

[theindianspotter]

I tried sharpening and increasing the contrast….

How does one fix this?

By selecting just one image to upload/ask for prescreening.

Sorry, my bad,I actually meant to ask ‘how does one fix the softness and contrast’ and for the other two I wanted to know your opinion on which one should I select from them..

In general? It would depend on what is causing the issues in the first place. Is equipment (lens) related? Weather? Editing? Too many possible factors, but as always, it's usually better to avoid the problem at first than try to fix it later.

Hmm, what about this one?

This would be rejected for soft, noise, dark, contrast. I doubt another edit would help.

Hello, I went to spot this airplane once again, this is the best shot I got of it, it’s looking quite good and detailed in higher res, but not so great at 1280 even when the quality is at 100, would this be able to make it in?
