UNBELIEVABLE catch, Monika. First Place Gold, IMHO. Good luck! By the way which lens did you use? and if you could share your camera settings!

Thank you very much for commenting, Renee, Usman, Michelle and Jack! It's a pleasure to know you like it.

Usman, I took this photo with my Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S DX lens. The settings were: 18mm, 1/20 sec, f/3.5, ISO 640. The exposure was a little longer and I didn't have my tripod with me, so instead I braced my hand against the balcony from where I was taking this shot ;-)
