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!

| Interesting..orange, green and purple. They are the complementary colors of the primary colors. You just chose not to use the primary colors. You get an extra point for thinking outside the box. |

| For me, the colors aren't as complementary as other entries in this challenge. I do like how you positioned the ball in the upper left though. :-) |
