Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other. The main colour effect here is from the green of the grass in the background.
Black and white are neutrals and not colours at all, and therefore they cannot be complementary colours... white shows the presence of light, and black shows the absence of light. Black and white areas next to each other do demonstrate high contrast, but high contrast gives a different visual effect than complementary colours do in a picture.
Check some of the forum discussions on complementary colours for suggestions on using colour for contrast.

| Photo looks a little washed out. Try increasing contrast. Might help take care of it.Looks like light hitting the lens to me. You've probably heard this about a hundred time by now but complementary colors. |

| Nice photo--I would have used a soft flash, but don't think it meets the challenge. |

| sorry the photo seems so foggy...too much brightness/contrast perhaps in editing? It really distracts from the subject. |

Unfortunately, black and white are not colors so they can't be complementary. As for the zebra, it's very flat looking. I think it would have benefitted greatly by a boost in contrast.

| B&W are not complementary colors unfortunately. Needs contrast as well. |

| The result of shooting into the sun, too bad the positions weren't reversed. Too little contrast. |

| ...are not complement colors. More intesive lighting of zebra (even fill-in flash) would add some vitality to the photo. |

| This does not meet the challenge--black and white are not colors. I don't know what it is called, but I do not like the "foggy" effect. |

| great composition and focus a bit of levels and contrast wouldve made this photo not so hazy looking. and selective color(white) wouldve made your whites real white and the black selective color wouldve ade the blacks true...good luck, hope this helps :o) Cher |

| I think that this might be a little overexposed for my taste. I think I'd prefer more contrast between the black & white (but even then I'm afraid it wouldn't fit the challenge for me). |
