Split Toned Images

Challenge #4 in the The Power of Editing series. Hosted by sagebrushfire.
Challenge has finished
One of my favorite editing techniques is toning my shadows and highlights to two distinct colors - it can give a fantasy feel or the appearance of an old image when mixed with some grain. Your image must be primarily 2 different colors. You may use this effect as a compliment to your color images or ton your black and white images.

Is it duotone?

Update: The Color Isolation pictures are great but they really don't have anything to do with split-toning and thus are being disqualified. That's a wildly poplar technique so I may hold a challenge for that but I can guarantee you there are probably already a couple (hundred) in dpreview's past so I'm on the fence.

Okay it looks like people are getting it. If the challenge starts getting full I will be disqualifying pieces that don't fit the rules that well; if you think a piece really just doesn't belong please file a complaint and I will see to it ASAP.

I provided a sample; probably 80% of the current entries don't really fit the theme - I guess it wasn't that clear. If I could change the rules I would probably make it a broader challenge including BW+Color images or something.

Would 1 color plus B&W be OK?
