I took this one at my daughter's birthday party when all the kids where line up and eating the cake. I was very moved by this row of little feet and thought it would make a very cute photo. Hope this is duotone enough and fits the topic well.

The use of a narrow DOF and putting focus on a single foot turned this into a piece of work. -Doug

Any toning would go with this.. it's simply an original and great picture :)

I liked how you chose to only have one in focus.

Looks like someone had fun :-) interesting shot, good tones & good use of DOF.

Thanks Daniel and CJ. This one looks also very good in color but duotone works well also. Thanks Brent for giving me the opportunity to see this photo under a different angle (would probably never have converted it to duotone without this challenge).

Very cute and aptly named too! I like the tones and don't think it make the feet look toooooo dirty!

Thanks Franky. The kids had been playing bare foot for an hour so no doubt the feet are dirty. In my opinion that makes the pic even more interesting :-). Since this is so apparent i renamed it "Dirty little feet". Thanks for the idea!

Ha ha, such a cute image Ivan! :-) Great job with the shallow focus and I can definitely see a color tone in your processing. I bet they didn't remain this still after eating all that sugary cake ;-) Very nice work.

Thanks Brent for the feedback. Aperture actually has duotone features (color monochrome and monochrome mixer) that are very easy to use and give you a lot of flexibility). You are right about the sugar, this was a unique moment of calm and order within an hour and a half of total crazyness fueled by heavy sugar content. Glad this happens only once a year :-)

Wonderful catch! Though the toning actually makes me think they should wash their feet ... ;-)
