László, this is a really nice capture.  The yellow and blue lightings in the distance give some unusual feel to the image.

László, thanks for the details.  Some Japanese smartphone are waterproof.  I don't know if the one in your image is waterproof, but they should be sure about it.  :)

Very nice shot László. What's that bright source of light on the right of the frame?

It is a reflector to light up the castle. Maybe it would have been better if it were not in the frame, but it was not possible -- and also the light was needed to lit up the raindrops.

Sony and Samsung and Caterpillar cater to the IB67/68-Market, some even advertize military standards. In pracice it does not always work as annnounced...

I love the shot because of the lighting. And because you decided that it is OK to get wet for the shot. Brave man!

Yes, I think the light helped too.

I am convinced your image is very much better than theirs.
