KILLERPIX OPPOSITES – ENTRY #2
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET!
Upon reading @killerpix's post this morning calling for more entries to the OPPOSITES photography contest, I somehow was drawn to writing a blog post about OPPOSITES.
It brought back memories of my school English days when OPPOSITES were called ANTONYMS and also of my teaching days when I taught six-year-olds about OPPOSITES. Here then is a list that I might have used with my young pupils:
black/white
old/young
empty/full
back/front
far/near
beautiful/ugly
over/under
rich/poor
dark/light
thick/thin
weak/strong
before/after
begin/end
early/late
dead/alive
empty/full
easy/difficult
happy/sad
wet/dry
wild/tame
tall/short
shallow/deep
You get the idea! So, go for it! You have a few more hours left to get an image or two uploaded for this fun contest. What other opposites can you think of? There are plenty more. My list was given just as an example to help you think!

The most important and first antithesis is Ying and the Yang!

You are right on the spot with the theme, the opposite factors in this picture are great and the message about not putting all eggs in one basket works perfectly. Good job! 💚
