I'm thinking (having tried some night shooting myself) that if you use a
wide angle lense (like a 28mm F3.5 Zuiko) and open up the apeture ring all
the way, and expose for 1/3 the time you did for your original shot, maybe
with an orange filter or polarizer, and a good 400 - 800 ISO film, you
should darken your image significantly while retaining detail... the
original image looks like the emulsion you used "soaked" up too much ambient
light and brightened the image too much. Of course, you will need Photoshop
if you want the startling navy blues...
Just a thought...

Guess it's PhotoShop for sure
now. I take it you already have the computer and scanner. Soon you too can
make Zuiko shots which rival your example. BTW--I agree with Joel. I'll bet
the photo you admire was shot through a blue filter and/or digitally
enhanced. Your photo does have a better composition, but given the subject
