My attempt at the Dragan Effect

I have been trying to figure out how to make my photos have that silver shiny look.  Like in the movie 300 or The Book of Eli.  At first I thought that they were just over exposed.  I was so wrong.  There's a lot of tweaking involved.  I'm not even sure if I'm close.  The tutorial from Tutcast was extremely helpful.  Here's my first attempt.  What do you think, is it close?
