I shot an image of the Moon two nights ago and enhanced the natural colors and contrast to reveal the surface details. Here is the result. [OC]

Such a gorgeous shot man. Your color work actually helped inspire my most recent image I posted a few days ago.

Edit: since my comment got more attention than his, check out his other work on his Instagram, this guy is one of my biggest inspirations: https://www.instagram.com/thevastreaches/

This looks like one of those NASA enhanced color images to my untrained eye. Amazing work.

I find it so amazing that we can take these kinds of pictures from Earth with (somewhat) normal cameras when not even half a century ago we still needed satellite telescopes and specially designed land telescopes to achieve anything close to this. Progress...and our subsequent exploration into the stars...is really amazing sometimes.
