New B+W Conversion C&C Please!

[dmilwain]

I converted this by deleting all channels but the red in Photoshop, I also had my first attempt at dodging and burning.
Please let me know what you think of it, and what I could've done better.
thanks,

Great DOF, the only thing that bothers me is the few hot clouds. Otherwise stunning image

I'll have to watch the hot spots, thanks
