thanks Peter, I used PS's match color tool, then the highlight/shadow tool (adjusted this one quite a bit, though) and then hue/saturation to get my toning.
The match color tool is quite interesting. Take your photo and take a second one where you like the colors and tones very much, and simply match yours to the one you like. Sometimes the result is way off (when the two images are too different in color), but sometimes its really interesting and a good starting point.

That is really intense. Just a hair more on the left would have been nice.

Hi Stefan, thanks! I didn't look though the camera but tried to hold the camera on my streched back arm to get this photo. She was sitting on my lap 20 cm from my face. :)

thanks Amanda, I was hoping you would like it. She is totally addicted to that binky right now. A couple of weeks ago it looked like the phase would end, but right now we are back to were we were a year ago :( She it toothing, though.

thanks Cheryl! See my replay to Peter. I used mainly the color match and shadow/highlight tool to get the look.
I love this lens so much. The contrast between softness/sharpness is so beautiful.

Great expression (more tired than wild), B&W and toning is very good, as always ;-)
BTW: is CS2 worth upgrading ?

How'd you get the color? Great comp and clarity.

Hi Bryan, in Photoshop I used the "Hue/Satuation" tool, set it to "colorize" (at the bottom of the dialog) and use 42 for hue, 25 for saturation and 0 for lightness.
Thta gives you a nice sepia look that I used here. But the tones in this image are a result of some more work. First the channel mixer to go from color to B&W, then curves for contrast editing, then I used the shadow/highlight tool, then the sepia toning.
I wish I could give you an easier way, but I'm pretty much experimenting each time I use PS.

Thanks David. I tried it out on a self portrait I did yesterday. I mainly did the first part and will work on the rest later.
