Daniel,
very nice, one thing you could try to do is touch up the negative so the 69 isn't as obvious. AA did that on one of his photographs where the university students had painted the side of the hill with there name. so he tried removing as much of it as possible. If you didn't know it was there you wouldn't notice it. A pencil coudl be used and try to blend it in. or find a retouch person (very hard today) to do it for you.
