Thanks BearMusic and Muckpond for turning me on to the duotone technique in the forums.
Taken in Sedona AZ, the lighting just happened to be perfect!
Used channel mixer to get the shading I wanted and converted to duotone using black and a custom redish orange. Minor levels adjustment, re-size and sharpen.

given the tones I think your shot is hampered by the black foreground..it draws my eye away from the shot..
and so while the tones are well done I have difficulty finding what it is I am supposed to focus on..I didn't even see the bridge, until I read one of your comments...
Nice picture, but I don't think this works in Duotone. The Bridge and background are too close in colour making them hard to distingish. I think this would look much nicer in full colour.
excellent shot. This is just a little nitpicky comment but i would have liked the crop a tad tighted so that where the shadow on the tree at the very bottom is would have been cut off
