Splendid work! Would you be willing to share how you put this image together? It obviously took quite a bit of patience and care.
Obviously the moon moves across the sky quite a bit faster than the image appears to show.
I was up from 1am to ~3am (CST) shooting in intervals of about 5 minutes, as the Earth passed in front of the moon the lighting of the moon changed so I had to watch the exposures of each image. So each "moon" in the image is a completely separate exposure.
I opened Photoshop and imported all the images as layers and created a mask for each layer which included only the moon. Each layer was then moved around so that they ended up in the position as seen in the final image.
A few layers required exposure adjustment and that was done solely within the needed layer. Really not that much work as I'm a still a novice at PS but thanks for the compliment.

For comparison, I've also added this shot of the setting sun taken just 8 seconds earlier. You can just see the beginnings of the green forming around the edges. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gdanford/14043568154/

PS:
Gjesdal, great picture of the Fennec fox. I put that in one of my Flickr galleries.
I wasn't able to go through all of the PAD thread, but I've noticed there's a few new members around. It's nice to see fresh faces.
It's also been a while since I've used my macro lens.
I went out with a picture in my mind and I was happy that I was able to achieve it.
