Interesting picture. Not sure what it is but I like the shapes and colors in it. Not exactly "straight road" complementary but nice just the same. The frame around it really ties the background to it wonderfully. Nice abstract.
This photo, is very interesting, but I'm not thrilled about the border, it to me takes it away.
However, I think that if the border blended in better with a different color, such as green, which would both blend in but highlight the green in the photo making it a little more apparent.
The complimentary colors are missing here. I see the leaves - which look to be green, but there isn't a clear red and green theme. Very creative composition. Just doesn't meet challenge.
i really like this picture, but i don't think the colours meet the challenge. I like the way the patterns of colour interplay, you don't need to know what they really are
