There's not much PP on either of those shots, but what I did was important. First, the WB was all wrong (typical orange color cast), so I fixed that. Really helps to shoot in RAW by the way. Also minor exposure modifications and a touch of Apple Aperture's built in noise reduction (but really not much at all). That's it! Both were shot with the 6D; one with the 85f/1.8 and the other with the 40mm pancake. Here's the exif on the shot you quoted:
Thanks KB - I appreciate it. The 6D seems like a real winner...a few compromises from the current $3K body and more than a few improvements over the older $3K body. I love that 85/1.8 too, one of my favs.

So...a little NR and few tweaks to the exposure/WB. Incredible...it really is incredible how clean those shots are. I sound silly going gaga over a couple casual shots... but I really am that amazed! The 6D - not even a 1-series body - at 12800 ...a little PP... and it leaves "acceptable" in the rear view mirror.

Thanks again for the details. Great to see these shots.
