Took lots of shots on the boardwalk at Kohler Andrae State park this afternoon. Was hard to find a focus for a shot but I liked this one and felt the duotone worked well to emphasize the leading line. we'll see (as ever!)
Shot in RAW and converted in Rawshooter. Cloned out an annoying mark in the sky (on my lens I think)Converted to B&W with channel mixer and then saved. Converted to duotone. Light Neat Image and sharpening. Resized and saved.

Very nice like the lines and feeling of the shot ... I found the excessive darkness in the upper right corner quite detracting from an overall excellent shot.
A colour version of this may have been a better choice IMO. Everything seems to blend in with each other in the field/boardwalk and the tree is just slightly darker than the sky behind.
Very nice picture for this challenge. The walkway really leads your eye into the picture. However, there isn't enough contrast between the walkway and the grass on the sides of it so they blend all together. Perhaps the walkway would have stood out more if the picture were in color.
