This is not a composite image. I shot it just as the moon was raising (or setting. I don't remember since its been a while since I shot this). Below is the original jpeg image. I processed the RAW file by reducing highlights and adding contrast to the sky. I also did some curves adjustments to the sky.

Thank you all very much.

Thank you for the explanation.

This shot was made all the more lovely somehow knowing it wasn't the result of post-processing trickery. Incredible! Bravo!

Very well done! I've been struggling with shots with the moon in them. I haven't quite figured out how to get the right combination of exposures to not blow out around the moon or way underexpose elsewhere. Guess I need to just take more pictures to practice.

It's a lot of trail and error in the field. I clicked about 20 to 25 shots with slight setting changes then picked the best one.
