This is very lovely but I'm afraid that despite the purple tone it doesn't register as sharply complementary to me.

Comment by johnmk:
Just for the record, assuming that no one ever comes back and will read this, but still for all those commenters who did not see the issue of secondary colors in this picture. I submitted this one to show that any color at dusk, even the bright white of a cruiseship, gets some orange/red hue. If you did not see that, there might be 3 reasons:
1) your mind automatically corrects for this change of color and still sees the white, but thinks: 'oh yes, white at sundown'.
2) your monitor has trouble with color subtleties. Some portables and some flat screens have this problem in particular
3) you had programmed yourself for some interpretation of 'secondary colors' that did not include subtle color addition of this kind.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by and commenting, to joelf: come play again, will I take a picture of a train or truck/lorry the next time for you?

Nice shot. I think if you had been able to capture this when the moon was lower, so that your crop was more panoramic than squarish, it wouldhave been even more effective.

Really a nice image, but I cannot see where it meets the challenge of Secondary Colors.

For some reason, this makes a 16th century impression on me. The purple and also the yellow/gold of the image is very striking. Wonder whether that was in-camera or from photoshop; doesn't really matter to me. It has a very pleasing, mysterious effect. Love that light cloud on the top of the image. The only thing i don't like,and would have cropped it out, is the moon. Would have cropped the image right below. But you will probably get lots of comments raving about this moon. Also see some banding from compression. Very nice. 9

I think you've misunderstood what colours were intended for this challenge. Pity, because I like the photo.

while this meets the colour challenge, it seems really forced with the post processing you've done to it. The yellowy/green is quite unpleasant for my eye too, I'm afraid to say.

Looks almost ghostly. I like the composition. I bet this looks great in full color, too, huh? In fact, I'd really like to see it before the color processing after the challenge. 9.
