After one year with D7000 and service poitn check-up, still having problems with sharpness!

Hope you don't mind, but they really aren't that bad.  I did a quick sharpen (perhaps too much), boosted saturation, and denoised the background.  Someone with better PP skills than me could probably make much better.  Took 1 min or so.

But I think you've received some good advice.
