B+W Conversion

This is a new go at digital B+W for me. I have capture NX and rather than use chanels for conversion, I have used their b+w conversion using filters. I found that pixels clumped when using chanels, so thought I would try this. I then added the duotone to warm things up in photoshop.
I know the image isn't much emotionally, for me its just a 'nice ' image, but was more pleased with the B+W side of things.
What do you think?

The conversion looks fine to me. The toning also works well. Quite a nice picture: a surreal landscape.

I am not an expert in that area (although I do know that just desaturating color pics is far from real b/w), but I would say that you did a fine job here. you got good gradiation between the middle tones but also very accented high and low tones.. good contrast, so to speak (I also dig the dynamic range, by the way).
I quite like it.. though I am no so sure about the toning.. ;-P
