This was actually my introduction to the concept of 'earth shine'.This is one of those photos where I ask why? The answer always comes back to Photo Art.
The objective in not a good photograph of the moon. The objective is to create a good picture of the moon. But, instead of brush, paints and canvas the artist uses a mouse, pixels and monitor.
Technology has opened up an entirely new field for artistic talent and folks are getting quite good at it.
So to address the OPs comment, yes it is a phenomenal picture of the moon, an excellent display technical expertise. However, as a photograph it is just another moon shot, though it does capture the earth shine rather well.
