    Well behaved danes are not born. They are “made” by responsible and caring dane owners.

              i'm sure its open to artistic interpretation.

              just take a picture that shows an example of newness in your eyes.

                Part of the challenge is your intepretation of the theme. It can be literal or figurative. It's all up to you.

                          Compliments of thefreedictionary.com:

                          2. a. Still fresh: a new coat of paint.
                          b. Never used or worn before now: a new car; a new hat.

                          12. New In the most recent form, period, or development.
                          13. Inexperienced or unaccustomed: new at the job; new to the trials of parenthood.

                          adv. Freshly; recently. Often used in combination: new-mown.

                          [Middle English newe, from Old English nwe, nowe; see newo- in Indo-European roots.]
                          newness n.
                          Synonyms: new, fresh, novel2, newfangled, original
                          These adjectives describe what has existed for only a short time, has only lately come into use, or has only recently arrived at a state or position, as of prominence: New is the most general: a new movie; a new friend. "It is time for a new generation of leadership, to cope with new problems and new opportunities" (John F. Kennedy).
                          Something fresh has qualities of newness such as briskness, brightness, or purity: fresh footprints in the snow; fresh hope of discovering a vaccine.
                          Novel applies to the new and strikingly unusual: "His sermons were considered bold in thought and novel in language" (Edith Wharton).
                          Newfangled suggests that something is needlessly novel: "the newfangled doctrine of utility" (John Galt).
                          Something that is original is novel and the first of its kind: "The science of pure mathematics, in its modern development, may claim to be the most original creation of the human spirit" (Alfred North Whitehead).

                          Hope this helps some people out!
