# Ah, I see what you mean.
I used a very hi res moon image but it was so sharp it looked ridiculous. There is a fair amount of blur purposely added and some fade.
It was meant to have a surreal look to it ( and it only got the moon at the last minute, I was going to shop an alien planet.

# Hm. I think perhaps it looking ridiculous is more to do with it needing to fit in
If you look at our moon, it tends to look crisp, but it glows quite brightly, especially when it's that big. That makes the clouds around it a sort of off-white grey. What you've done is make the clouds colour affect the moon, rather than the other way round.

# I agree.
And I don't like it that much but at least I'm comfortable that I never set out to paint a photo-realistic scene, if I had then that would never have been posted and I'd have painted the buildings. Perhaps I was getting post-lack fever and just rustled some crap up quick as a fix.
