Mushrooms that popped up in my yard overnight! We've had so much rain lately, it was raining as I took this. Of course my neighbors, who don't speak any English, had to be wondering what the heck I was doing on the ground in the rain taking pictures of mushrooms! LOL!
It was really hard to make this a duotone. I converted to grayscale, then using the duotone preset in PSCS, just went through the second colors (the first was black) trying to see what made a difference.

I like the tones and the way the light is hitting this. There is, of course, a lot of sepia being seen in this challenge, but when working on my own entry, I realized this is because brownish tones enhance many images quite well. It is just what works. The distinctive appearance of the caps of the 'shrooms suggests to me that you may have used a Topaz product on this. About my only real nitpick is that I find it cropped a little too tight for my own preferences. I gave this one a fairly high vote.
