 Shot hand held through glass. Couldn't raise the ISO beyond 64 because of Panasonic's horrible capability to handle noise. This is the best I could do with the image.

Ouch, tough deal shooting handheld at 420mm through glass...

Have you experimented with Neat Image? It's pretty cool if you are gentle with it... It should allow you to get some decent results even up to around ISO 200...

You have a fair number of 'jaggies' in the whiskers... I'm guessing that you resized down in only a few steps?

Hair is a real pain for that...

I have an action that takes my largest images and slices them down 5% at a time like 20 times, then carefully fine tunes down to DPC size... If I need a different size, I use the history and jump back a few steps, then resize down in small increments...

I learned that it was important on my fly pic which had some crazy effects with different numbers of steps... weird moire stuff...

Using the action is the only way to go IMHO because doing it by hand takes ages!

I kinda like a lot about this, but have you considered using multiple layers, bringing out the eyes? Might be fun to brighten just the eyes up... It would certainly change the layout of the pic compositionally...
