Camera: Kodak DX4330
Location: Eastern Oregon
Date: Sep 30, 2005
Galleries: Sky, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Sep 30, 2005

 Back here in eastern Oregon, where canyons reflect the complimentary color of the sky, it all changes during fall to winter season. This is intended as a small picture with an ambitious display to scale a large portion of land and above it.

Complementary shades of gray?

Nice photo but doesn't seem to meet the challenge.

Did you mean to enter this in the complementary colors challenge? If you did, you missed the mark.

If you intended it for the "Your corner of the world" challenge (which I suspect), I'd probably give it a 4 or maybe a 5, because, despite it's title, it appears to be mostly a picture of a sky, one with nice texture, granted, but a sky with nice texture could be found anywhere.

Beautiful landscape. Doesn't appear to meet the challenge.

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.

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

Too small again.

I can find no connection between this picture and the challenge subject.

color?

This is a pretty image, but it doesn't represent any complementary colors.

Does not meet a challenge, way too small, overexposed sky.

Nice picture. Love the snow/land lines on the mountain top. I don't see any complementary colors though.

I do not see any complimentary colors.

Where are the contrasting colors? Black and white are not true colors. The shot is way too small to work effectively. I'd make sure the dimensions are 640 pixels at the highest point and it will create a larger image. This would work better in true black and white with high contrast, but not in this challange.

Does not meet the challenge
