You could easily do something like this in Photoshop.
That's the obvious way ... otherwise you would need a camera that isn't using a very wideangle lens, which makes everything look further away.
Thank you for your nice comment. Yes I shot raw and jpeg. I did photoshop it a little bit to de noise it but that was the last picture I can do in photoshop because my trial ended. I was on the dji Adobe partner ship thing and I am not sure that I will buy it. I guess I will go back to using gimp and raw therapee.
I gave this one a try in Adobe Photoshop CC2021. I used the content aware move tool, clone tool, and gradient tool to open the foreground. Original and edited version attached. You can also see the stars now! Click on it for full screen.
The vertical line gives it away- looks fake. See my fix below!
You are most welcome. I forgot to add, I also used the shadow slider in Adobe Camera RAW.
You must have a better monitor then I do as I do not see a vertical line but if you say so it must be true. I do think your photo looks a little copy and pasted but who am I to say.
Au contraire, mon ami! (to the contrary, my friend). Not copy and paste. The content aware fill tool did it. The original site is replaced by AI (artificial intelligence) with pixel replacement. You have to work some to reproduce the lighting, coloring, etc. with small tools like clone tool, and spot healing brushes. The vertical line in the middle of the image is very plain to see on my 27 inch Apple iMAC monitor/screen on one of the other submitters image.You must have a better monitor then I do as I do not see a vertical line but if you say so it must be true.

Try Skylum Luminar - it’s a lightroom replacement. Or check here: The 13 best Photoshop alternatives
Ok. You don't think Gimp and raw therapee are good? That is what I have been using. I will check into those
