Dropped a roll of film in a puddle at the farmers market in Portland and it actually saved my shot

I was at the Portland Saturday Market last month and my shoulder bag slipped off, dumping a roll of Portra 400 right into a muddy puddle. I fished it out and dried it off best I could, then developed it anyway expecting nothing. The water damage created these weird streaks across the image of this old brick building that actually look amazing, like a faded painting. Has anyone else accidentally ruined film and ended up liking the result better?

Wait, you developed a film roll that sat in a muddy puddle and it still came out? That's insane, Portra really is bulletproof.

Portra handles abuse better than any other film. Happy accidents.
