Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other.
The colours in this photo are so desaturated that the effect of complementary colours is lost. Your image demonstrates a duotone effect rather than the effect of complementary colours.

Italian Fare

Great closeup shot of the food, but the brown of the meatsauce and the yellow of the noodles do not show complementary colours.

Nice shot of the airplane formation, but you need to crop more tightly to show the contrast of the red and the green.

The colours in this photo are desaturated so much that the visual effect of complementary colours is almost lost. Your image demonstrates a duotone effect rather than the effect of complementary colours. Perhaps shooting from a different angle to include more of the orange leaves and/or tighter cropping to the figures would give more colour contrast?

Black & Tan

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.
