Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other.
Black and white are neutrals and not colours at all, and therefore they cannot be complementary colours... white shows the presence of light, and black shows the absence of light. Black and white areas next to each other do demonstrate high contrast, but high contrast gives a different visual effect than complementary colours do in a picture.

Your image demonstrates a duotone effect rather than the effect of complementary colours.

Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other. The complementary colours I see in your image are
blue/yellow.

The challenge called for "two complementary colors to compose your photograph" but your photo shows more than two colours, violet, green, as well as neutrals black, white and greys... and that dilutes the visual effect of a single colour against its opposite (complementary) colour.
I think your photo would have been stronger if you had grouped the yellow containers with the blue labels and cropped tightly around them. The resulting photo would have been a very interesting geometric composition.

All the more upper goes your sight, more far away goes your mind.

Fantastic angle on the building, but the arrangement of circles in the lightstand is so strong that the viewer's eye has trouble scanning the rest of the image.

Great focus and depth of field, but the distortion is so wild, that it's difficult to work out the image. Too bad the angle of the head is so extreme.

Great idea, but there is no part of the image that is in focus, to provide a resting place for the viewer's eye.

I like the point of view and the concept, but some part of the image needs to be in focus to capture the viewer's attention.
