Neat colors on the moon. Were they pulled out in PP?

I love that hawk photo. The composition is really pleasing to my eye, and the vignetting completes it. BTW, the bird looks like it wants my soul

Different interpretation of common subjects.
Well done - both are pleasantly produced.

The Moon is particularly well done.
