im a newbie here...are all of you shooting in RAW, and if so, do you sharpen them before posting them?

I bought a 135L and the pics are not quite as sharp as what i see here :(

I shoot with a 40D...i look at 100% crops of my RAW files, with the sharpening at default (25) in LR. When i look at the eyes in the subject of my photos, it does not look like those piercing eyelashes that I see in this thread!

About myself yes i do sharpen my shots before i post here or anywhere, and if you want more sharpness then at the end of your post processing before sharpening, convert to JPEG and then apply sharpness.

Maybe you could post some w/ exif and someone can help you out. I've noticed that sometimes its the photographer and not the lens that the reason that shoots aren't sharp. That includes myself

That initial sharpening in Lightroom is what is usually referred to as "capture sharpening", and is intended to take care of softness connected with bayer interpolation (and the default sharpening is quite low). When you post an image, you should use the Output module in Lightroom to export an image at the appropriate size, and let Lightroom sharpen for that output size and medium (screen, glossy paper, matte paper, etc).
