Great shot but don’t care for the purple sky. Appears introduced via filter. Moon has purple cast, too. Would like to see the original if this isn’t it.
Thanks, Paul. No non-neutral filter (ever)—just underexposed the scene enough to hold detail in the moon. Not sure where you’re from, but in my experience a magenta sky opposite the sun isn’t that unusual if you hang around long enough after sunset (look at the number of other images in this gallery with similar color). This was at least 10 minutes after sunset. https://garyhartblog.com/2016/07/21/yosemite-moon/
