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 in your photo I see purplish brown, dull yellow and bright green, as well as the reddish orange of the basketball. The addition of the extra colours dilutes the visual effect of tones of a single predominating colour against tones of its opposite or complementary colour.
I think your submission would have been a stronger demonstration of complementary colours if you had chosen a background that of a complementary colour to the red-oranges of the basketball, for instance, by photographing it against a blue basketball jersey, or a blue-green toned towel, to keep the sports metaphor.
Great closeup shot of the textures of the ball and the ground!
