very nice pose but the details don't look very good, maybe a huge crop or too much NR?

Yes, nice pose and I like the perch too (and the way the talons are gripping it). I agree the IQ makes it look like it may be a large crop.

It actually got worse...if it is such a huge crop there is not much you can do...

John, you got a nice elegant pose here. I also think the IQ did not hold up. If you have that kind of BG all around, I wouldn't mind a wider crop...a minimalist treatment to the shot.
