    Ian,
    I looked at some of the highlights. While technically not saturated, the brightest areas have many of the same RGB values, e.g. 246,246,246, or change very little from pixel to pixel. Thus, there is little detail in the highlights. Do you have the raw file? If so, try reconverting with highlight recovery.
