Martin Photography

what photographic effect is this, please? (regarding colour)?
It's a photography question
see pics here, for example
http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff36/m-a-r-s-i-a/?action=view¤t=martin_marsia_page_020.jpg
It's not sepia, but its not grayscale either, it's something between. How do they call this affect and can I get this result with the GIMP for my own pictures?
thanks
It looks like a bright desaturated sepia tone.
Open the image.
Create two new layers and change the layer modes to Color.
Fill the first new layer with sepia color.
Fill the second new layer with white or black, doesn't matter.
Adjust the second new layer's opacity.
