Is this over-sharpened?

[G-FOTO.de]

...99% of my keeper images never make if off my computer screen ...

Well I would say, then start (fineart) printing your excellent shots!
And you will notice right away if they are oversharpened of not. Here on my 38" LG curved monitor it looks fine.

When I opened this thread I was immediately thinking, "Oh, I want to take photos that look this great!"

Now that I have been looking at it for a while, I am thinking, "Oh, I want to take photos that look this great!"

Thank you for your thoughts. I have to admit: I cheated. I placed the Pyrocantha berries hanging from a pole. I calculated the DOF at 8" (f/8.0, 400 mm, distance of 25') and placed the perch, berries and where I thought the bird might come from within that DOF (spot focus was on the bird's eye).

I rather like the sharp berries. Creating pleasing perches and attracting birds is an art form. Nicely done! Might I ask where you go them? I also like the pose of the bird. I don't think it is over sharpened.

It depends on the planned use. For the Web a lot more sharpening is needed than for a large print. Something to consider is adjusting the levels and the contrast and not doing sharpening until you have resized the image for its planned use.
