This is so great. The colors are fantastic. Much better than my own orange and blue of the last complementary colors challenge...

Congratulations!

Great colors of the shirt and tie.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is one of my favorites. Love the simple design, the sharp detail in the tie and the lack of detail in the shirt. Excellent!

Excellent idea. The only thing that bugs me is the corner of pocket showing on the right. If I were voting I would give this an 8

simple clear sharp nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/30/2006 06:05:06 PM
I guess this matches the challenge, but it's highly unoriginal and not very eye-catching.
 04/30/2006 05:34:13 PM
I love this entry, not cliche at all- would make an awesome stock photo, just everything is working, this might ribbon, glad to help it witha 10.

I like that - The bent tie is a nice tough. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2006 07:12:15 PM
Simple simple composition. You left no way for the viewer to miss the "complementary colors" theme here. Nice focus and nice tight crop. Good job.

could have more DOF, might also be better if tie wasn't curled - otherwise simple and effective, excellent color - 7

7 - Works well. Good composition. Perhaps even more symmetry and a little wider may have given this a little extra in my opinion, not sure.

Awesome shot, great lighting and composure. Perhaps the stitching from the shirt pocket could have been left out, but that's pretty minor.
