I hadn't thought about the difficulty involved in getting detail on the ground while stopping the moon from being blown. Having that pointed out to me does increase my respect for the shot.
However...
That's because I'm a photographer (no jokes please
) and I know about exposure etc. Your average Joe Public type chap isn't going to think "wow, the shadows have detail but the moon isn't blown out." He's just going to look at it and think it's a picture of a moon over a bit of rock. No repetition of form or particulalrly noticable symmetry/reflections/etc.
