"No Photoshop". So why cast doubt on its analogue status by applying a digital "drop shadow" to the image?

As it is, it looks okay, but I think you should have applied a mask in one of the steps to remove the speckled background in the upper left of the image. Make it a "pure zebra" image.
 
Well almost no Photoshop. Drop shadow was a remnant of the site I had it on. Sorry bout that! ;=] Dang digital is always creeping in there somehow.

Yes now that I look at it, probably could have used some opaquing fluid and cleaned up the neg to get rid of the suff in the upper left. Perhaps I will do that for the next printing.

If you kept some of the negatives/positives on the way to this final one, it would be fun to see one of them with a bit more info, solarized. It's fun to see where digital got its inspiration from.
