Even though the subject is a Lunar Corona, the story here are the surrounding clouds. Here I used the color "Dark City" processing in Nik HDR Efex combining two exposures. The second moon is lens flare.
The monochrome from Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 uses my "Toned Platinum" custom preset.
Finally, solarization in Nik Color Efex Pro creates a bas relief effect for the clouds.
