Well done. I feel cold just looking at it.

I like the potential, the upper left shows some spots and does not add. I think cropping the left off would appeal more and bring the picture into a stronger duotonality. This does not rate the 1-3 scores in my opinion. I scored it an 8. Nice shot. Basic editing makes it tough, I know the finished product with this one will be very nice.

Its a nice shot. As others have pointed out, this possibly didn't meet the 'duotone' description and was voted down.
compositionally, the left top side IMO, is weak. I would may be add more there of remove it totally...it seems a bit unbalanced as it is.

Terrific shot. I gave it a 9. I bet some people didn't think it was a duotone. That's the only reason I can think of that your score isn't higher.

The use of natural colors for this worked well.

I like the photo but it appears to have more than two tones in it. Red, Black, Gray and White.

OK, does this or doesn't it meet the challenge? After reading the current challenge forum I don't have a clue. I like the photo alot though. Looks very cold. Couple of spots in the upper left could be cleaned up after the challenge for a wall-hanger.

Is this really duotone? It looks fantastic.

This doesn't look duotone to me.
