Is this a real picture? The Sun would have to be close to the horizon but the shadows suggest a much steeper angle. It also doesn't look like it was taken from the extreme distance you need to make the Moon that large in the image (well above 1 km).

I was asking myself the same thing. That photo doesn't have any obvious tell-tail signs of perspective inconsistencies like so many other moon photos you see photoshoped, on the Internet. Yes, the sun would have to be close to the horizon, but that's not so unusual with a gibbous moon. So I was staring at that photo for about 5 minutes, searching for some sort of flaw, but I couldn't find one. It turns out it's real.

No clue. I suspend critical thinking for lame jokes-related matter. I do enough of it the remainder of the day.

That's a different picture. The Moon is smaller there, too.

My analysis was right. It's a double exposure. Moon and arch were pictured separately and combined.

Both shots (at least of the arch) were taken within a short time of each other. They have the same people in it, but all rearranged. The one in the linked article was taken first (assuming near dusk) with the sun still high enough to throw hard shadows from the shrubbery, and from about 60% closer by the arch than the subsequent shot posted in the forum where the only good shadows are in the rocks, especially above the eye.

The guy must have really needed to haul butt to get from one shot to the next, moving away, to the side, and downward. If straight back, moving downward would have put the hill that he took the first from between himself and the target. I assume these are not drone shots which would be another solution to getting to just the right place multiple times. He might have had his family help take the shots from multiple vantage points.

I'm willing to be convinced both shots are legit. The article makes no mention of the guy dashing to a second location or having a 2nd camera. He said he did about 250 shots, only a few during the 20 seconds the moon was properly aligned. No mention of moving and setting up to take the 2nd shot. So I'm willing to be talked out of my assessment.

Why should you never pick a fight with Santa Claus?

Because he has a black belt.

The photographer said it's a double exposure in the link I posted. If that's not sufficient to convince you it's a double exposure, then I don't know what will.
