Rick, You are right. The scene was too contrasty and keeping both the highlight and shadow detail was problematic. On top of this, the two extremes of the tonal range are on the boy. I have recovered the highlights with some success (his curved back); the payoff was loss of shadow detail (on his face). I had made some local adjustments (salvation, really!) on the face. I can perhaps overdo it a bit for screen presentation per your suggestion. I believe the image may allow only a smallish print, if processed correctly.
