Beautiful shot!!! I'm not a big fan of post processing anyway! I just think it is too easy and way overused. This my friend is a great shot!
I took some shots recently with my Pentax Spotmatic SP - my dad gave me this camera. It's from 1964 and I last used it steadily in the mid to late 80s. I have some really nice lenses for this camera that I also use on my various digicams with adapters.
Here's a shot from a recent roll of Kodak BW400CN film. No post processing...

Nice, moody shot of winter. B&W creates character.
I used my Dad's bare bones Pentax K1000 for years with some great results.
6 blade aperture, eh? Spotties are great, which lenses? I used to have some nice Pentax SMC glass in K mount. All gone now
I have a few Super Takumar lenses and some other M42 mount glass. The picture above was taken with the Takumar 50mm 1:1.4. It's my favorite lens and I have an adapter to use it on all my other systems too.
Do you guys still shoot analog? I do it infrequently now because I don't develop my old film any more (2 kids doesn't leave me much free time) and it isn't cost effective to drop $9-12 a roll for processing. Still, I really enjoy that Pentax especially with the 50mm. Just a lot of fun to shoot.
Another cool lens I picked up on Ebay cheaply is the M42 mount Auto Chinon 35mm 1:2.8. I like this especially for movies on the m4/3 cameras. Pictured below on my old Olympus PEN E-P1.
From the last roll of Kodak BW400CN processed the other day. Very stark image of a damn cold afternoon and a heavily frozen lake in Upstate NY.
I like your stuff. I still shoot very occasionally with my old Nikon FE. But only when I feel like using black and white. I have a couple old Kiron made Vivitar lenses that are like old friends. When I do get a DSLR, I am seriously considering getting one that will accept those lenses, just because I cut my teeth beginning as a teenager with them, and am so used to shooting with them. I am told I will like the new auto lenses, but I still want the option of focusing and zooming like I "grew up" doing.

So many great deals on SLRs, especially when you are buying fresh and not concerned about compatibility with existing glass. I shoot Canon because I have a ridiculous amount of money invested in EF lenses. I like the products anyway - I own an older 40D that will go into the box with me and a kinda newer T2i (lighter and mostly for vacationing). I have been tempted several times to buy a Pentax K-5. I think it is amazing - full weather sealing, great image quality, and access to ALL of Pentax K-Mount lenses going back to the 70s (all found cheaply on the 'bay).
I am also a huge fan of buying refurb from reputable places like Adorama, B&H, and KEH. I paid retail once and have since bought 5 cameras as refurbs for a fraction of the cost and no duds so far. Anyway, good luck in whatever DSLR you pick and post pictures.
On the subject of Analog.......Here are some gratuitous shots of my oldest (Canon AE-1) taken by my newest (Sony RX100).
