I like the composition and colors, but it seems a little grainy and/or noisy.

If this had been a little sharper it would have easily been one of the best on here. Great shot, just a little blurry.

Nice capture, and framing, but the lack of sharp focus is going to hurt you a bit on this one.

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.
