That's a very noisy image... and I don't think the pp was done very well either - the image got brighter, but you lost a lot of contrast and introduced a whole lot more noise. As for the isolation, I don't think you really needed to do that for this shot. It wasn't so much the ragged edges that gives the isolation, however - it's the lack of contrast in the image.

If you'd like, I can take a whack at it to see if I can do better. Like I said, I probably wouldn't isolate it, but if that's what you want, I'll do that too. If you want me to try, you should probably open up a larger version, as the largest version from your Flickr is way too small for a 10x12.
