I'm currently exploring the B/W, and duotoning possibilities of PS. I hope this trial gives the mood of a past old town. Blue tone instead of black should give a touch of nostalgy .

This is an excellent shot but the duotones do nothing for me. I would have liked to seen this in it's original color or even black and white for comparision. I love the perspective and the sense of urban is very strong.
Don't like the duotone colour. It would probably have looked better in warmer yellowish duotone, since it's sunny bright day. Even triotone with this colour and yellow oposite. Other than that - nice perspective and sharpness.

Nice balance between shadow and light. The bicycle really helps set the tone of this image. Perfect execution. This is a case where I wish it were in color -- I know, you have to make a choice and some are going to commend you for the B/W shot -- in this case, I'm not one of them.
I really like the feel of this image - It's as if I'm on vacation in a quaint village. With the position of the sun, it's hard to get the sky right. Nice job with this photo!
The view up the alleyway gives a sense of intimacy. I don't know how much the color contributes to the overall effect, but it is a photo that holds my interest.
Needs straightening. I'm not convinced by your choice of colour. I think the photo needs more tonal contrast. Score: 5 (6 in normal black and white, and straightened).
