Week 3 Lab : Duotone

I tried first this technique with a picture I took in Napa during the fall:

I changed the mode first to gray tones and then to duotone with a green as the other ink

I do not like the result. I think to have a good result there is a need for more overall contrast and less local value changes. I looked back for another picture and found one from the eiffel tower taken with my Haselblad (on film! I miss the Blad lens quality...).

As the base image is already in gray tones I just had to transform it in duotone. I chose a red brownish color that looks like old rusty metal. I like this one far better.
