I have been shooting with my Nikon D50 and I see that most of my pictures are not crisp and clear what may be the reason? I use 18-55mm & 70-300mm lens...

I'm shooting with a Coolpix, but operating on the assumption that most Nikons have similar menus and core functions - is it set to a high level of in-camera sharpening? I know this is an option in mine. Also, keep in mind that Nikons actually have a slightly softer focus than most other digital cameras, built in as a buffer against oversharpening.

It is usually too slow a shutter speed and handheld shots, in other words camera shake.Up your iso or widen the aperature.
Dslr cams tend to be on the soft side out of the camera anyway, try sharpening in editing or change the sharpen settings in camera.
Very common fault, just google for it and there will be tons of help on the web.
If you can't cure it test it by mounting on a tripod. |

Looks pretty crisp to me, but if you find that your images are coming out a bit on the soft side, just apply some Unsharp Mask. On that small size, you could use a radius of about .3 and an amount of about 60-80.
If you feel that the color/contrast is a bit dull then simply use Levels to up the contrast a bit.
The problem seems to be in post-processing, not anything with your glass.

Well looking at the exif and looking at the orginal size of the picture.
I would say it isn't bad at all. thou it has quite abit of noise because of the iso is 1600 and the shutter speed is 1/400 so the camera shake would be min thou possiable but still a very low chance.
I would run it thru a noise program add abit of sharpening and see what you think of it
