Very cool castle. Like the architecture and the colors you chose to tone it. The blown-out clouds in the background are a bit distracting, but, other than go to take the photo at some other time, there's not much you can do about that in a basic editing challenge. :)

Very nice and good choice of tones. They work well for this photo. It looks like you may have over sharpen it a bit though.

The processing is fairly noticable. However, the castle itself is pleasing so the soft halos that are seen do not detract in general. The sky however isn't as pleasing, IMO. It's very harsh and it doesn't compliment the castle very well which has softer tones to it. I do like how there is a break in the clouds so the background isn't all white.

In regards to the rest, the duotone looks good. I also like the composition and you've managed to produce a lot of detail in the shadows despite the harsh light. Good photo.

VERY NICE! I like the overall color palette. Nice focus and clarity for them both. They "match."

great composition. i love finding things so random like that. very plentiful where i live. good find. i like the lighting, and the angle suits the subject well. abstract, but not so much as to not know what you're looking at. the darkness above the car gives a nice balance to the picture, if it had been lighter or darker, it wouldn't be as easy to look at.

Certainly broken and nice lens usage. Bumping up.

Same issue as spazmo - I don't like the result, but shouldn't be dq'd in my opinion.
