"Objective" Comparison

Trying to be as objective as I can (with limited capabilities), the images in the collage are as follows:

 

Top - RAW (As Shot): NEF File Straight from a Nikon D7000 (No Post Production)

 

Middle - Nikon Camera Raw: Manual Process (No Photoshop Post Production)

 

Bottom - Lightroom CC: "Auto" (with some minor adjustments) and "Enhance" (No Photoshop Post Production, but scaled down to fit in the comparison collage)

Done
