Let
$f:M\rightarrow M$ be a biholomorphism on a two-dimensional complex manifold, and let
$X\subseteq M$ be a compact
$f$ -invariant set such that
$f|_{X}$ is asymptotically dissipative and without periodic sinks. We introduce a solely dynamical obstruction to dominated splitting, namely critical point. Critical point is a dynamical object and captures many of the dynamical properties of a one-dimensional critical point.
