its not sharp and poorly cropped. By poorly cropped I mean the horizon (table) is not level. The bottom is too close with a lot of space on the top.

Okay I understand, but can you also help me to understand technically what could be the reason for the lack of sharpness. I have attached the technical informations.

Hello,

You have an aperture setting of F/4. It is quite narrow for a 50mm lens. This is a reason for a lack of sharpness - DOF is too narrow.
