From the pixel size of this version of the picture it looks to me like it is not what was originally shot, but was compressed into a relatively small format of 640 pixels wide etc. For what it is here I think it is about as good as can be expected, and explains why enlargement is so unsatisfactory. It is already at the maximum resolution for the format size.

For a D7000, this is quite a small JPG. Is your camera set to JPG fine, for maximum resolution? This size image does not tolerate much enlargement.

Also, 300-mm, max tele-photo of your zoom, is not the best focal length to evaluate your camera.

The problem is not the focus of your camera.

Sorry to say, your lens does not have a good reputation. Read more here:

You have not yet posted a "straight from camera" JPG, which would be most helpful, especially if captured with a standard lens.

I reduced the noise and sharpened this photo a little. The DOF seems to be a little shallow meaning the aperture needs to be increased to possibly f13 or so.

Nice shot of avery pretty butterfly.

OK, I cropped, lightened it a bit and sharpene it a bit. For as close as this shot was taken the DOF is too shallow. I don't think the problem is with the focus.

Here is a web site for you to look at:
