It's an excellent picture - I caned it in the challenge voting because complementary colours need to be similarly weighted in order to be truly complementary. (By 'weighted' I mean they should have the same dark/light tone). Were it not in the challenge, or even better, if it were in an 'appetising food' challenge - bingo. The picture pushes my thirst-for-fruit buttons.

So don't despair :)

At first I didn't notice the background was a very dark shade of blue. I take it not everyone will see that. Shame because this is a very good photo. 9!

Great, great image of an orange - it looks good enough to eat. But where is the complimentary colour? Such a shame, the sharpness and composition of this are very good.

Cool orange, but I don't see the contrast. The background is not blue enough!

great picture but no complementary color for the orange (at least on my screen)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You have captured the flesh of the orange very well! The surrounding colour looks black but I can see shades of blue at the bottom. Good luck.

you forgot the purple unless the background was supposed to look purple but great detail
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2006 04:31:21 AM
wheres the compliment? Blue?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2006 03:47:33 AM
On my monitor the background is practically black. Really had to look to find the blue.

Good composition and lighting.

I see a lot of orange but no complementary color (blue), so sorry DNMC.

Great set-up/composition but I'm not sure how this fits the challenge unless my screen is too dark and needs recalibrated again.

 04/27/2006 10:59:37 PM
I like the composition and lighting, but the background is too dark.

The blue is too dark - I'm viewing on a laptop tonight (a very good laptop, but still!) and I had to adjust my viewing angle to catch the navy.

Where's the complimentary color?

One of the best pictures of oranges that I have seen in a while, but where is the complimentary color?

Erm... What is the other colour?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2006 09:39:41 AM
Where is the complementary color? blue/yellow; red/green; purple/gold???
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2006 12:04:40 AM
cool composition but doesn't meet the challenge requirements
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 11:25:03 PM
good shot

5 - Good detail and color in the orange. More blue and not so blotchy in the parts of the blue that are visible, make this better in my opinion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The complementary blue isn't very evident. In my monitor it looks almost black. Other than that, I think this is very nice. I specially like the way the half orange is cut, it creates interest for the eye. Very clear and well-balanced.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 05:15:25 PM
At least on my monitor, the background would be better if lighter to emphasize the complimentary colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 11:45:56 AM
nice vibrant orange
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 08:46:01 AM
