I know I seem to struggle on the contrast front, so hopefully this will at least be OK on that front.

Any advice for the softness problem, either when shooting or editing? I never want to take it too far in lightroom for fear of making it too noisy.

I have an earlier shot that was taken with aperture priority rather than shutter, should be sharper. I've been staring at this screen for so long now I can't tell.

Hi all,
another one here, let's see if I'm learning from this feedback. Personally I think this will be rejected for soft (especially around the nose) and blurry. was shot with aperture priority so it must have used 1/125 shutter speed to compensate.
Like I say, not one I intend on submitting, just looking to see if I am picking up on points.
Thanks

I'll ignore that going forward then.

Any improvement to be seen here? I've re-exported from the original to preserve quality and eliminate compression. Also added some additional contrast and sharpening.
Like you've suggested in the past, weather and light conditions were far from ideal, so I think you'll agree that if this is still below par then realistically it's the end of the line for this one.
