Check the RGB values in the shadows and highlights.

The shadows are high in blue. The highlights are high in magenta and even higher in yellow. It's probably just cross-processing in curves.

the question is....what kind of blending? just normal?
at first i thought this style technique use gradient map with blue/cyan in shadow and yellow/red in highlights but still not getting any closer.
my weakness is how to "read" color....
thanks peano...you very kind person

You can try a global color balance adjustment layer. Add a bit of red to the shadows and red to the midtones and highlights.

I've never used Cross Processing, I'm not entirely sure what it is.
I love learning new stuff, anybody got a link to a tutorial they like on it?

Give it a shot. I have spoken to him on a few occasions before (via deviantArt) and he is a very friendly guy!

Akif is a nice guy, I have spoken to him before via DeviantArt as well. I do believe in a interview I remember him mentioning he uses curves and its a powerful tool, so I would imagine he is using it to cross process..... I just don't know what else he does.
