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.

| Great image. Unfortunately, it doesn't match the theme of complimentary colors. Otherwise, I would have scored this much higher, because I personally like acromatics and muted earthtones. |

| For me, this is a very nice photo. Well composed and good lighting, but I'm not so sure it fully meets the complimentary colors as I understand them. |

| hmmm... different... I like how the water is so vivid but it also looks out of place because there doesn't seem to have any other rain drops or water around it. |

| This is a very pretty photo. Under the definition of Complementay colors, they are colors that are across from each orher on the color wheel, such as red and green, purple and orange. Black is not a color, but a shade. |
