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.
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.
i like it man, u did a good job with this 1, your boarder is alittle wacky it is thinner on tlong sides (virt.) and thinker on the short sides (horiz.)...but hey what can u do...at least that is the only problem that i see with it.
oh and there is some color noise or color problems in the shadow of the sleve...try more than 1 or to light scorces next time....also glad to see u'r not having the downsizing problems...
(next time iron the shirt)
