Sharp, you say you want to see SHARP! (Maybe I overdid it?)

1) I exposed to the left (under exposed). I did this so I had details to work with in highlights.
2) I used PicCure+ an Adaptive deconvolution program.
3) I used the anti-shake filter built into PScc.
4) Nik filters.
Did I overdo it?
One thing that I do like about this photo is that you can see the effect of the "hair light" that hits her from above and behind.

I do not see the tell tale signs of over sharpening, so go with it.
I did not use the tools that normally give you signs of over sharpening.
After I posted it I realized that I had used 600mm with a 1.4X TC attached (effective 840mm lens.) That makes focusing difficult, and a matter of luck.

Wow & Wow. Beautiful. However luck factored into this wonderfol photo it took a back seat to talent, creativity, experience and lots of sweat. Thank you for sharing it.

Feathers are soft. This is so sharp it no longer looks like feathers, but it's a look a lot of people here seem to prefer.

You make valid points. I was just seeing how far I could push the sharping tools on this photo. I have other hummingbird photos that I like much more. Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
