Agreed Lady TT. Federer is probably unhappy with this result and performance this match, but he has to take the positives out of this tournament as a whole.
He had probably the toughest draw as it played out, and managed to beat two top 10 players to make it to his nemesis, #1 Rafa. So in the big picture it has to be a positive for him. He said earlier that he doesn't think he will be fully fit (playing his best form) until April or May, so overall this is not a bad result. I think his big goal will be to do well at Wimbledon and the US Open, the two biggest disappointments from last year.
