Am I over-sharpening?

To me, the original sized images do look excessively sharpened, for
example:

but if I was viewing on my old CRT monitor rather than my current LCD
monitor (without the focus problems of the CRT), I would probably have
said it was OK.

I'm looking at that on an LCD monitor and it looks fine to me. Nice and
sharp, but I wouldn't say oversharpened.

I'm looking at them on a 1600 x 1200 21" LCD,
and they look fine to me, sharpening-wise.

On a 19" CRT, same res as rafe, they are all right.

The pictures look great to me. I notice that they didn't have any Minigolf
on the pond this year. lol

Some shots from the Richmond Hill Winter Carnival, 2006/02/04. No
snow, but it was overcast, and the Panasonic FZ5 is not known as a great
low-light camera. Where it does have an advantage is the 10X optical
zoom lens. The pond shots were taken from quite a distance. I took
quite a few shots, and made a bunch of awful beginner's mistakes. Some
shots came out OK, especially after working on them with Gimp (free
Photoshop-like program). The ones that weren't totally embarressing are

I tried out "sharpening" on the images. Certainly looks different.
As a beginner, I don't know whether the sharpening is too much. That's
my main question about these shots.
