First a clear statement, I like the effect of your image 
The word Duotone came from the recess of my cerebellum to my frontal cortex... huh, OK brain if you are so smart what is a Duotone. I see in your photo shades of Blue-Black and Yellow-brown... two colors, in a loose sense a dancing duo of colors.
I looked Duotone up and found:

I ignored Google references to ... "There’s an inherent musicality to its many vowels, its rolling pitch, and its short syllables," next references on MSNBC to the fact that Duotone is an "existential threat," and another click to "How to solve the Ukraine War using Photoshop."

Blue and yellow ‘duotone’ is very ‘in’ with video folk, it’s used extensively to give ‘mood’ to films of certain genres. And it’s quite popular with folk like me because Lr has made it so easy to apply to good effect. All that said, I’m unsure whether I’d have used it here but the subject is excellent Curmudgeon.

Thanks Fran. This is a mixture of several filters in Topaz Studio 2. Sadly I have no idea what filters in what order were used. As usual I just play around with an image until I get bored or like in this case something accidently pops out

Very neat results. You’re certainly like Topaz.
Thanks Frank. I like Studio 2 because it does things I would need years of training to be able to do in PS

It's different but not really to my taste, Jack. I get the idea, though.
Thanks for the honest reply Ken.
