No. Hard to differentiate between subject, background and white spot under squirrel.

As I am just beginning to PP my jpegs using Fotor I am very interested in the responses to this question. To my unpracticed eye I don't think it is. For me the major issue with this image is the very reflective section of rock right under the subject. Possibly a CP would have helped here.

I don't know what you mean by "over sharpen",but it would be helpful to differentiate the squirrel from the background a little more.

More contrast of the background and the main topic would of helped dramatically. I have a few shots like this.

No. It lacks contrast. You also need to pay attention when using a mask or whatever. Some areas in the middle of the 'sharpened areas' are really bad.

It also feel like you have been playing with vibrancy/saturation. Cool it there, it seems overdone.

One last remark, the next time you need a feed back on an image, post it in the Post processing or for your consideration section, not in the main photography channel.

.

And this is not the only area....

Sharpening is fine. Adjust the brightness and contrast

Mr. Chipmunk would really be p****d to hear you calling him Squirrel.

Oversharpened? No. Insufficient contrast between subject and background? Yes. In the quality of light you had available to you, your choices were few. Perhaps a CP. In PP, you could have darkened the rock somewhat and that would have helped.

Unfortunately the chipmunk (not a squirrel) is sitting on a rock which tends to blend in with it.

Taking down the highlights would help IMHO.

Don't understand what you mean by "over sharpened". The word sharp is most often used to describe the focus of the shot. So unless your intention on a shot is to produce a bokeh effect for artistic reasons, I don't think its possible to be over sharp. Your primary subject is either in focus or its not.
