You're right. I'm pretty sure this a composite image. Moonrise at sunset is a full moon--always. Also, when the moon is near the horizon, the terminator is side-to-side, not up and down as here.

Always is a pretty strong word my dude 😂😂 especially when moon rise is depending on position of the earth when it rises across whatever your horizon line is, your elevation

Yeah, composite was my first thought. Then I started thinking about sunrise and sunset in extreme northern parts of the earth and noticed no snow on the mountains indicating summertime. This sunset could be happening at 11:30 PM, which could lead to a non full moon rising at sunset.

Great critical thinking skills. I took a (not as good) similar photo on July 11 at 9:43 PM not far from where this one was taken. As soon as I saw this photo I was reminded of mine and wondered if it was taken the same evening
