Fabulous photo! How did you achieve such contrast?

thanks for your compliment --- the answer to your question is strong development (12 minutes in straight d76 at 74 degrees) ........ plus i think reciprocity failure played a role (by that i the buildup in highlight densities that you normally get with extra long exposures, and which i would normally have shortened development to compensate for, but didn't this time) ...
