MPC #151: Complementary Colors June 3 - 26
Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce a grey-scale color like white or black. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colors. Due to this striking color clash, the term opposite colors is often considered more appropriate than "complementary colors". (Wikipedia)
Find something where the color of the subject is complementary to the background or the rest of the image. Bonus points for colorful images that emphasize the color contrast, but don't over saturate!
There are a couple different interpretations and color wheels that explain this, so the colors don't have to be 180 deg across the wheel, but they should be as far away from each other as possible.

I know this last one is cheating a little because it isn't autumn anywhere, but you get the idea.

I figured we can run this through the 25th which will give us enough time to vote and get another one going before the next holiday weekend.
