primary colours...that was different challenge

This was a difficult challenge to work on... people's opinions differ on what the "complementary colours" are, mainly depending on whether they are working with a system based on Red, Yellow and Blue as their primary colours ("subtractive colour") or a system of Red, Green and Blue ("additive colour") as their primary colours.
For this challenge, I believe either system is acceptable.

Complementary colours are pairs of "opposite" colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other. The challenge called for "two complementary colors to compose your photograph" but your photo shows reds, blues, yellows and greens, and it gives the vibrant effect of primary colours, rather than the effect of a single colour against its opposite (complementary) colour.

I think your photo is a great demonstration of primary colour and texture, but not of complementary colours. Sorry!

great shot - just a shame about the 'white' in the top right

Wow, there are some interesting colors here. Not too crazy over the mirror but it wouldn't be right to crop out that much. I like the pattern of red on the front.

Wow thats nice work....

Whoa....Lot's of color happening here. I like the streaked look to it, but the top right corner takes a bit away for me. Good picture.

Pleases my eye. Strong vivid colors.

Blue and red are not complementary.

What a nice mess!

Some nice primary colors, in the Blue and Red, but the complementary colors of Orange and Green, respectfully, are not present.
