No, I don't think it's "too" sharp, but everyone has their own parameters. It doesn't look over-pixelated on my monitor (20" LCD).

Having said that, I might go for a little softer look, since it's a pretty close crop, and the nose is prominent, and has a shiny area on it. It's a nice portrait, though, and I like the eyes.

I assume you mean too sharp in the original image, not digitally sharpened?

Anyway, don't know as I'd call it too sharp, but rather too close. When viewed large on a monitor, you do see some skin details that wouldn't be noticable under normal conditions.

A nice portrait and a beautiful woman too. To me a picture can't be sharp enough. I like your picture, mainly because of the natural look of the woman. She has kind of a "Mona Lisa" smiling, hiding something behind her interesting eyes.

But the background on the left is somewhat "uneven" - red and dark and yellow portions.

I think it would also add still more beauty to the woman's appearance if we could see more of her forehead and hair.

Just my opinion.

Thanks a lot for everyones feedback. I attach the uncropped, unretouched out-of-the-camera version in case you find it interesting.

as the other posters mentioned....... maybe a little skin "smoothing".

Regards
