Is it my eyesight 👀 .... (3 Viewers)

or are some photos (quite a few photos actually) over sharpened/processed? Some photos are so fantastic that they don't appear completely natural to me. I'm not criticising, just making an observation as to what I see and wish that my shots would turn out even half as good.

Theres a number of factors at play here with viewing images. What can look great on a good quality monitor can look absolutely crap on one of mediocre quality. Websites often reduce the quality of images to save space and bandwidth. A lot depends also on individuals post processing skills or sharpening settings on their camera if they shoot in JPG. Personally I do very little in the way of sharpening other than what’s included in the tailored to my camera model RAW conversion. I do use Topaz DeNoise if I’ve been using high ISO values.
