[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 361651, member: 13090"] Are you shooting JPG? If so, I suggest you press the MENU button, click left and then up and down to select the camera icon (Shooting menu). Drop into the "Manage Picture Control" option and then click right. You'll see options to select the various "Picture Controls" here (Standard, Vivid, Landscape etc.) I suggest you choose "Standard". Highlight that option and then click "right" again. From these menus you can adjust the settings for this particular Picture Control. I bump the "Saturation" setting to +1 and the "Sharpening" setting to +7. I also like using the "Landscape" Picture Control with "Sharpening" set to +7 but everything else I leave at default. Try those settings and see what you think. For whatever reason, the default setting on Nikon's Picture Control "Sharpening" setting is bizarrely set to something like -2. Adjusting the Sharpening setting as I've outline will have a dramatic affect on your shots. If you're shooting RAW, you can pretty much ignore all of this.
