Re-did a shot as a duotone

[Sharkbait]

My first effort doing any kind of duotoning in PS.

Here's the original. I liked the composition and sort of liked the coloration, but I didn't like the yellowy-sepia cast on the supposedly white shirt.

Now here's the new version, done as a duotone. I think it's a much stronger image now, but there are still some settings I want to play with to see what I can make it do.

Ya, I like the 2nd one better.

Have you tried this pose without the shirt?

Agreed, i like the color better but the shirt sleeve kind of interupts the texture and color of the skin. Perhaps just roll the sleeves up a little?

Yup, that's the other thing I'd like to fix in a re-shoot.
