Moon behind trees - a layers related question

[ChrisBrandl]

Hi there,

in a large photo of a jungle in the afternoon I want to copy a daylight moon. It sometimes happen that you see the moon during daylight. The photo is supposed to be realistic.

The branches that are covering the moon should be darker because strictly speaking this is an against the light shot.

With this I don't succeed though.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks a lot,

Christoph, Mombasa, Kenya
