Joey, as shot - for a 1/4 second at 18mm, f/3.5, ISO 6400 using 18-55mm IS kit lens, Auto White Balance
White balance tweaked via color temperature slider then "Tune" button to adjust for tint. Chroma noise reduction maxed, and luma noise reduction increased slightly. Very slight pull down with curves.
Saturation increased, contrast increased, curve used to bring highlights down quickly, and a small boost applied to shadows.

Ok, so my first "real" attempt to post process something. Other pics the Osprey was more centered, but also out of focus.

After adjusting brightness, contrast and mid-tone in Microsoft Office Picture Manager ([]). I'll try DPP and Photoshop, but I did this quickly this morning and liked the results.

A Before and After of a Full Moon Rise over the trees and power lines.
Using Photoshop CS5e I did a little content Aware fill using paths to remove the power lines, a little Faux HDR Toning to bring out the detail and contrast within the trees, and then finally a little levels adjustment to fine tune the mid-tone contrast a touch.
