Just a sneeze  by steveh

Just a sneeze

photo 107
Ok ..
i took this photo whilst on holiday in Wales, but the reason that i am posting it today is something has started to happened in the past two days with this picture..on flickr
Yesterday the hits on the image started to rise & rise & rise at the moment they have just reached 36,528 . ..wow...

I am amazed i have never had an image reach 20 hits before yesterday, never expected it to be honest. So to remind me of the day one of my photos hit the stars. I am posting it for the 7th May .. Hope this still counts ... & hope it makes you all smile .

It is right out of the camera, just one of those moments in time; Oscar sneezed as I was taking the shot & bingo!.

viewed 43,365 times on flickr before i took it of public view..

OMG. I have always thought when dogs sneeze, it almost appears painful, you certainly captured that. Unbelievable.

Oscar's sneeze and Jodie's cat's Yawn should be made into posters and hung in places where children need a laugh...if you get my drift... This is so wonderful! Congratulations for getting that peak-of-the-moment, out-of-this-world photo!

posted May 9th, 2010  
Just a thought- make sure you copyright this and if you want to make money put it onto stock or some other commercial photo site.
posted May 9th, 2010  
Oh my godness, brilliant moment! :D

posted May 10th, 2010  
Congratulations Steve H. I have to tell you that after reading all the comments and thinking there will be no room for my comment and nothing new to tell you, I found this slot and wrote first word - and so long since I looked at the name & photo, I had FORGOTTEN YOUR NAME!!!!! This is so delightful in one way in another does it hurt them, and finally someone suggested a Post card with Oscar. Steve it's something to think about if you go broke . But I'd say put a copyright on this may stop people pinching this fab photo. I too am putting it in Favourite for me. Thanks for a great lift in my feelings.
posted May 10th, 2010  
oh my god - that IS The best dog photo ever!!!!!!!

Hi Steve - had to say I have a pet called Oscar as well...though mine is a Birman cat - I am sure your Oscar would chase my Oscar! Must say I have never seen my Oscar pull a face like your Oscar in this shot ! hehe
