Last Nights Full Moon

Last Nights Full Moon is often referred to as the "Full Wolf Moon" as it was in the sky when wolves could be heard calling in the snow. Some call it the Old Full Moon.
For me the full moon always looks stunning as it hangs majestically in the sky. However its the worst time to image it. Flat and disappointing when the images are downloaded. It lacks detail because the sunlight is not casting any shadows. I've tried HDR but it looks unreal so processing this image is quite simple. Mainly contrast improvements using curves with an additional layer, its blending mode set to soft light and 20% opacity. It seem to be the best I can do without a lunar filter.
