So, I've been playing around with some sharpening techniques and I finished this one. I can't really tell if it's over sharpened or not. What do you think by just looking at it

Initial sharpening done in LR and then over to USM

I was thinking the same thing but for some reason I couldn't really tell. I need to eat more carrots to try and fix my eyesight

Not bad but I find the contrast is a little too hard. The white bars are just too intense, IMO.

Look close at the eyes. Looks like the little person has eye liner.

It's not oversharpened but too sharp... if this makes any sense.
