Ok. for the family album....but I don't see the colors you're referring to in this image. Perhaps an even more limited depth of field would help blur the distraction of the background?

I find the busy bg takes away from the main subject here!

Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other.
The colours in this photo are so desaturated that the effect of complementary colours is lost. 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 many colours, no complementary colours.

All the colors in this photo are rather boring to me. Which makes the whole photo a bit boring.

I think this could have worked if there were more blue vs. gray. Good idea though!

Interesting shot, but I'm really missing the complementary colors
