The Moon's crescent is supposed to be perpendicular to Earth's orbit 
(the contribution of the angle of the Moon's own orbital plane being 
negligible).  If this were real, it would have to be combination of two 
pictures: one picture of the Moon taken near the equator, and one 
picture of the snowy mountains and water taken near the North or South 
pole, for a sufficiently large value of "near".

(Besides, someon else already pointed out the author's massive gallery 
of Terragen-made images)
