Yeah, kinda sorta now that you have said it, but I do like the warmer tone. Maybe a blend between this and your OP image?
Sharpness looks fine to me. Do you add sharpening in PS or LR or just in the jpeg export?
I'm curious because I have noticed in some of my LR jpeg exports recently that they seem to be over sharpened using the same settings I have always used. I'm wondering if Adobe has messed with something there.

Yeah I think perhaps a LITTLE less toning would be a sweet spot. I do any sharpening prior to exporting (no JPEG sharpening on LR export). Not sure if downsizing in PS is adding any of the crunchies or if I pushed things a little too much.
Thanks Dave!

The original tone looks good to me. I also like the warmed up version too but on my monitor, it looks a bit yellow. Could it look better as a sepia? Or is that tone too cliche these days?
I really got to learn about sharpening. My pics always look like they need to be sharper. (Sorry for the tangent.)
Cheers Fam! I think I might take Dave and your advice and reduce the toning a touch. It was the 'Coffee' tone from Silver Efex Pro, so I would expect the tone to be more to the brown side of things and not yellow but I see what you're saying. Nah sepia is a classic! Just gotta pick the right spot to utilize it. I'd say that a reduced tone version of the most recent rework might approach a light sepia look.
As far as sharpening goes, there are many ways to skin a cat - all depends on what tools you've got and the intended effect.
