      I copied the brightest part over and its not actually thaat much brighter. It makes sense that it is a bit brighter tho, because its actually white (unlike anything else in that picture) and reflecting the sun light directly. The sky is reflecting much more diffusely.

        Good point. Maybe it’s because the hand holding the ciggarette appears quite dark, too.
