Exercise - Sharpening for Print / Website

SHARPENING FOR PRINT

I can notice the difference when sharpening and it is slightly easier on the screen I feel.  When looking at prints the difference is minute.  My eyes were struggling here I must admit.
My preferred choice was 'two' - I was looking around the eye area especially and the picture did sharpen, but I felt it went over in the last picture not looking so good.

I expect it would vary from picture to picture.  I cant really say exactly what it was doing but I did get a preference.

For this exercise I started at the lowest point of sharpening, then went up a quarter for each picture, with the last picture on maximum. I have typed the settings that I used alongside the photos below.

ORIGINAL

ONE   -    + 48 
Here the eye was a little darker and more defined.

TWO  ( my preferred choice ) + 100

Better definition, all round.

THREE  + 150

Here the eye was darker but on the screen the skin seemed to sparkle rather, not a desired effect.. this
actually doesn't show on the print so much but I felt this was too much for this picture.
