The "duotone" aspect of it is just an overlay on the process, nothing new there. The dodge/burn and gradient work has already been incorporated; each separate channel layer has been worked on on the layer mask to that effect. This is a relatively muted rendering, for sure. I am going to try a more aggressive version, this was just the first runthrough.

Wonderful articulate response to this voting travesty. As long as you don't lose your nerve to continue to post assumptions-challenging images like this, we'll all be the better for it.

This one REALLY caught my attention because the eye looks so worn and weathered with the veins in the eye, the redness on the lid and the wrinkled skin. I think I see 2-3 faces in the reflection, which adds a whole additional layer of interest. Focus and/or DoF isn't quite sharp enough but still a great shot.
