I used a one pixel, (the minimum), setting of focus correction in Focusmagic, and no other sharping such as USM at all. These were about 1/4-1/6th of the frame captured so there wasn't even much down sampling to make them them web size. To me they just look sharp, I don't see any artifacts that weren't in the original files, (the white halo effect, on the edges of the wings seems to be from them being partially back lighted, and is actually less noticeable in these images than it was on the original files before any manipulation). I'm not sure what I could do to make them less over sharpened...
