I was really debating about submitting this photo because the subject matter is not all that spectacular. It's just a purple and yellow lighter stacked together and placed on a mirror with my computer screen in purple mode being used as the background. This was my only picture out of several attempts at different subjects where the colors actually came out as true purple and yellow. My husband liked it and talked me into submitting it.

It definitely meets the challenge
This was pretty clever of you to make 4 lighters out of 2.
The use of the mirror was great.
Lighting may need to have been diffused just a little.
To me, it is washing out the top edges of the top lighter.
The angle may have been the other solution.
Once again, excellent job and my pick this week.

It fits the theme, and it's an interesting photo, but I think the background probably should have been another shade, and the angle might have been better on the sides of the lighter -- the shininess of the metal draws the eye away from the contrast and onto the shiny yellow bits.
excellent use of complementary colors... This photo also offers some intrigue for how it was done :) The exposure on this one seems a little hot overall. The yellow cast on the chrome elements of the lighter seem to be working with the color theme... = 6
