I didn't enter my shot. Figured it'd get slammed.
Good luck everyone. |
yup, i'm noticing very few dichotomies. o well. i look at the quality of the image, and if they also have a real dichotomy, then i'll bump it up one. there are a few very clever ones there.

I think you're focusing on only one definition of dichotomy; the division into two suborders (subordinates). Another way dichotomy is applied is to logic, which results in two subclasses which are opposed or contradict each other. Yes I've seen a fair few opposites in there but they are still dichotomies. :) |

Ideally, dichotomy should have two mutually exclusive definitions... |

Interestingly enough... reference.com indicates that "opposites" is a valid term for a dichotomy.
However I found this definition much more intriguing.
Dichotomy is also a method of execution wherein the victim is cut in two. Off with yer head.
I believe my score has been dichotomized. |

Wasn't expecting a huge score, but then I wasn't thinking it would be a sub 6 either (lol, don't we all think that?). Two great comments from  Jutilda and SandyP, both believe I got the challenge even without the title. Thank you so much ladies, you've made my day! |

| Dichotomy is the same as lobotomy, except it involves a different part of the body. |

Oh you are MORE than welcome!! I bet yours is one of the 3 me and Jutilda told each other about as being our favorites in the challenge. We had the same 3. . .and there really weren't that many that we totally loved. . .so KUDOS! Can't wait to see which one is yours.
Oh, and I'm smiling because mine just poked its head over 6.0 (barely). So I can go to sleep thinking it may end up with a downright respectable score after all :) (prob'ly till the light of dawn :)

| There is evidence that Britain and America suffer the dichotomy of a common language. |

What I don't really understand is the "splitting into two (as in biology)" use of the word... it's a valid definition, according to the links, but the challenge description specifically mentions one of the definitions, and it wasn't that one.
This whole meeting the challenge thing is tough... maybe I should just enter free studies from now on ;-) |

I have to say the votes are trickling in and I don't think I've ever seen such a slow voting pattern in any of the past challenges I've entered.
I'm not voting, but I just wanted to say that some of the photos were simply amazing in both thought and execution.
Have a great day Everyone!

| "An Englishman in New York" is an excellent dichotomy. Why didn't anyone think of that?? Darn it, I didn't. |
