Thanks for the comments guys. I think no. 1 is my favourite from the festival also.
Wendell - thanks, the image was quite dull, I have played with curves a bit now to give it more contrast.
The camera didn't get wet. I took photos through car's windscreen. The protection gear would have set me back $600, plus I don't know how effective it would be with droplets in front of the lens forming all the time. I did buy a protective rain coat but that would have been pretty uselss against such brutal attacks
