Intentional long exposure to smear the movement of the moon and movement of the clouds.

Intentional over contrast and brightness reduction in photoshop to get the blue sky to come forward and the darkness around the edges where the moon's light dissipates.

I wanted to get the clouds to absorb the city's lights on their underbellies.

I got it, I am bored with it already. Here is the original image out of the camera. http://www.pbase.com/lundy/image/41133722
