i use Canon 60D and until today with simple lenses.
I wanted to step on the level and i buy super lens - Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM and it should be one of the highest level in lenses. the photos are ok but not sharp like photos i see on the internet and galleries, and the photos are little blurry - i want to see all the most little details in the photo, and i don't...
I tried to reset all settings and deleted all settings, i tried to play in another situations and still don't get the perfect shot.
if you see closer, you can see the photo is not perfect - its not sharp as it should be.
what am I missing?
Please - your help. and thanks'...f7.1 1/10s iso-100 400mm
f7.1 1/640 iso-2000 321mm
f7.1 1/1000 iso-2000 400mm

Can you also press CTRL I to show the extended information panel while viewing the images in DPP. It will give you a panel like this one which will help the forum members give you more information as to how to get better pictures with your lens and camera.

I wouldn't call this "very bad". One problem with an image like this is that after focus is set, you can move the handheld lens back and forth a bit losing focus. That is why the 100mm macro has the new IS system that can compensate for front and back movements.
If you really want to check focus and sharpness, try this technique:

Hope you don't mind me doing a bit of editing to one of your shots. It doesn't seem to be drastically out of focus but I think it mainly suffers from a lack of contrast. Your histogram shows all your image detail bunched up in the midrange and very little or no highlight or shadow details. A few minutes in PS tweaking the levels and adding just a skosh of sharpening helped to make it "pop" a little more.
That's the real advantage of shooting in RAW and Canon DPP will give you a lot more and finer control of your final exposure. If you must shoot jpeg you should be able to pre-adjust some settings in the 60D menus to adjust contrast, exposure, sharpness, etc. to improve the looks of the way the camera will process your images.
