Rise up as the last sunlight disappeared

It's full moon, time for a full moon shot. I headed to a hill 9 miles away from the legendary Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton, high above the Silicon Valley, California. There were clouds in the east, so I was not sure if the moon shot would turn out alright. Fortunately the moon is very bright, and overpowered the thin clouds. This time I only did a rough calculation; the moon came up too far to the right of the observatory.

I processed two balanced HDR photos from two RAW exposure, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
