Comment by HVGB_photos:
Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other. In this photo, the predominant colour is the green of the tie, but there is no complementary red to set it off.
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.

Check some of the forum discussions on complementary colours for suggestions on using colour for contrast.

A well done image. Texture, focus, both spot on. I just don't see the challenge topic being represented here.

This is an interesting composition, but it doesn't show any complementary colors. I do like the lightng - it brings out the texture of the shirt and tie.

Neat picture, I didn't even consider clothing. I like it, its simple. Not to complementary though. Neat idea. I love the texture in the tie.
