This image of wild phlox on the forest floor was my first conversion from a full color image to a duotone. The original image had a few hot spots and just didn't look that great as a full-color image but I really liked the overall composition so I tried out a new action called "Duotone Dreams" (free download at atncentral.com for CS3) and this was my end result.

Hi Julie, very interesting tonalities sort of sepia in a way, looking forward to more!!!
Love the concept Julie It has a real nice feel Would only wish to have some of the flower (closest point) a little sharper. This is fun !!!! :)
Yes, it's close to being sepia but this tone seemed to be a little less "dirty" looking to me - more on the green side of things so it seemed a natural.
I too wish that front leaf would have been a bit sharper. There's always something, isn't there?
Interesting process Julie. Thanks for demonstrating it and the link.
