Fleeting Beauty II - a photo on Flickriver

Fleeting Beauty II

            Just couldn't stop post-processing - I'm ADDICTED to it!. Here's a different version I've done using Duotone. 

Here's what I did:
Grayscale to Duotone - I wanted to use a particular PANTONE colour  for the overall look so I changed from coloured -> grayscale -> duotone.
Curves - Adjusted with an "S" form for more contrast.
Dodge & Burn - Burned the edges of the petals to give emphasis on its shape and also burned parts of the shadows to add volume to the whole flower. Burned the background because it's distracting.
Highpass - Used about 1.5 - 2 Highpass Filter to give more detail.
Double Overlay - I just doubled the layer and chose Overlay to give it more contrast.
Noise - I added about 10 noise to add grain to the image.
RGB - changed the image back from Duotone to RGB so I can print it later.
