| I received a comment on my picture that says it looks over sharpened, but I haven't done anything to my picture. Is this a bad thing??? |

It's a personal call. Be aware that your camera itself has user-adjustable settings for sharpness and contrast in the menus. If you have it maxed out in both areas and use those settings to shoot an already-contrasty scene, the end result (especially at 640 pixels) could easily look oversharpened even if you didn't touch the image in Photoshop or another editor.
Assuming that this is the case, you should become aware of these settings and when it's to your advantage to adjust them. However, if you use Photoshop (or another, versatile image editor) you should consider doing all your shooting at low contrast and low sharpness, then using the editor to fine-tune the image more precisely than the camera can do.
The same applies, incidentally, to color saturation settings.

If you share that person's opinion, it might if you have to check any in-camera sherpening options, and perhaps adjust them. You might want to zoom in real close and see if you can spot what the person's referring to ... usually light "halos" at high-contrast edges.
You can see some examples of over-sharpening here. |

If you're referring to the comment on  , then i wouldn't call that a sharpening artefact - it looks like it's been upscaled in a rather dodgy way. How exactly did you resize that?

it looks to me like it has water drops on it...could that be what the person thought was the sharpness problems?

sorry should have explained a little better. Yes the image does appear to have the jaggies but I have seen how water drops can distort the image some and when you are viewing the small one posted here I thought that is what maybe the commenter saw but didn't realize it could just be distortion and not oversharpening. If I am wrong then by all means ignore me, I am by far not an expert.
