Title: Arizona Moonset

Nice picture!
Is this a single exposure or a composite of two different ones?

A single exposure with just a bit of opening up of the shadow area at the bottom. Maybe a half stop's worth.

Michael,

Sorry for the "dumb" question ... but what exactly does this mean?

"opening up of the shadow area at the bottom. Maybe a half stop's worth"

Does that mean you metered the whole scene and over-exposed by 1/2 a stop over the meter?  

Thanks in advance!

Looks like the Tucson area!

I applied a gradient filter in Lightroom with about a half stop worth of Exposure increase.

Outside of Tucson, yes.
