Jack, I grabbed your original and toyed in Ps -- hope you don't mind.
There's only so much one can do with a 900px image, but just for grins
I did some "nature retouching". :-)
Here's my attempt; see what you think:

I'll remove it after Ann has rendered her verdict. :-)
LOL! I thought Jack's original post was better to my eye.... I can't
remember the buzz word for that little halo effect that happens when you
fiddle too much to get a sharper image... or fiddle with brightness and
contrast too much...
The original was terrif, I thought

Bruce, at your urging, I applied "despeckle" filter in addition to "reduce
noise" filter and bumped the contrast a bit more.
I see some smoothing.

That's a hell of a pose, Jack. Great capture!
Shame about the softness from noise. I'd try bumping up the contrast,
let the shadow tones darken up, and increase the Clarity some
(assuming Lr). Or use the high-pass filter & Overlay layer trick to
sharpen it up some.

Posting this due to the hawk's completely accidental dynamic pose. Actually had
forgotten to set continuous shutter, so only got a couple shots in.
The hawk was very dark due, I'm sure, to the spot metering having caught a bit
of the bright sky.
Not displeased, however, at what the K-5's DR allowed me to bring out.
Shot 1/7/13
C & C welcome
