Looks like the moon was selectively darkened, and the sky is a weirdly saturated and flat cyan. PP to bring out features is great, but push it too far and it just looks unnatural.
Wonderful capture. I saw a scene almost just like this on my recent trip to Utah, but was on a plane so I couldn't capture it. It's great how you got some foreground elements to give the photo depth.
My only qualm is that the moon doesn't look natural. At this time of day, the moon should have a somewhat translucent feel, not fully opaque.
