This effect was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
This filter is a mix of effects that change your Photo's to High Contrast B+W, convert them to B+W and increase detail, make dramatic B+W photo's, and do Toning (2 colour duotones).
It also has the capabiltity to add a simple border if you need one, all in one step.
P.S. Running more than one effect on the same picture
can produce better results.
