I look forward to seeing some of your results, re images of these type of plants. I have left you two comments and enjoyed your portfolio.

The blue tones are there but there are hints of green. If duotoning was the point of this exercise, I would advise to remove all green color casts. I agree though that this is a highly effective image in terms of subject and abstraction.
