I love pictures that make me feel the sunshine.

Yes, that's especially nice on a cold winter's day.

Makes me feel warm too, nice photo of a nice dog.

He's a nice dog, a Norwegian Ludehund. He turned ten this month, old for the breed. He's currently napping 18" from where he was born. I actually caught him as he was born.

what a bright, cheerful lad he looks to be! great capture!

Nice little dog. You didn't "capture" an image, you made a picture. Let's PLEASE PLEASE eliminate "capture" from our vocabulary (an artifact of the digital camera crowd). There is SO MUCH MORE involved in making the picture that is shown here than merely pressing a button on a digicam and posting some god-forsaken .jpg image on APUG.

I agree that the word capture doesn't cover the breadth or depth of what needed to happen to get and print this shot, but it has become part of the vernacular of the world around us. I think Henri Catier-Bresson's "hunter not cook" expresses the same idea and maybe even helped lay the foundation for "capture's" use today. To be blunt, in one sense it shows the same prejudice: Actor not writer, man not woman, employer not employee, photographer not lab rat... But, capture does express something that printers forget on occasion: interesting subject matter, skillfully caught, at an opportune moment; is important. In essence, it simply means "good shot".

Great name! Being Scandinavian I appreciate the pagan Gods of our past, and their names. The picture is a beautiful portrait that conveys warmth and energy.
