What is claimed is: 1. A seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, in order from an object side to an image side, the optical lens along an optical axis comprising: a first lens element with refractive power near the optical axis; a second lens element with refractive power near the optical axis, wherein at least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the second lens element are aspheric; a third lens element with refractive power near the optical axis; a fourth lens element with positive refractive power near the optical axis; a fifth lens element with refractive power near the optical axis; a sixth lens element with positive refractive power near the optical axis and having a convex image-side surface, wherein at least one of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element are aspheric; and a seventh lens element with positive refractive power near the optical axis and having a convex object-side surface, wherein at least one of an image-side surface and the object-side surface of the seventh lens element are aspheric, wherein f is a focal length of the seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, FL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens element to the image-side surface of the seventh lens element along the optical axis, and the following relation is satisfied: 1.0< FL/f< 8.0. 2. The seven-piece optical lens for capturing image of claim 1 , wherein FL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens element to the image-side surface of the seventh lens element along the optical axis, ct3 is a central thickness of the third lens element, and the following relation is satisfied: 3.0< FL/ct 3<13.0. 3. The seven-piece optical lens for capturing image of claim 1 , wherein Dg is a diagonal length of an image-plane for the max image-forming perspective view of the seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, ct3 is a central thickness of the third lens element, and the following relation is satisfied: 0.8< Dg/ct 3<8.0. 4. The seven-piece optical lens for capturing image of claim 1 , wherein f is a focal length of the seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, R 2 is a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element near the optical axis, and the following relation is satisfied: 0.4< f/R 2<2.5. 5. The seven-piece optical lens for capturing image of claim 1 , wherein the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth or the seventh lens elements comprise a plastic material. 6. A seven-piece optical module for capturing image, comprising: a seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, in order from an object side to an image side, the optical lens along an optical axis comprising: a first lens element with refractive power near the optical axis; a second lens element with refractive power near the optical axis, wherein at least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the second lens element are aspheric; a third lens element with refractive power near the optical axis; a fourth lens element with positive refractive power near the optical axis; a fifth lens element with refractive power near the optical axis; a sixth lens element with positive refractive power near the optical axis and having a convex image-side surface, wherein at least one of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element are aspheric; and a seventh lens element with positive refractive power near the optical axis and having a convex object-side surface, wherein at least one of an image-side surface and the object-side surface of the seventh lens element are aspheric; an image sensing device, disposed on an image-plane for image formation for an object; and an aperture stop disposed between the object and the fourth lens element, wherein f is a focal length of the seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, FL is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens element to the image-side surface of the seventh lens element along the optical axis, and the following relation is satisfied: 1.0< FL/f< 8.0. 7. The seven-piece optical module for capturing image of claim 6 , wherein Dg is a diagonal length of the image-plane for a max image-forming perspective view of the lens of the seven-piece optical lens for capturing image, FL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens element to the image-side surface of the seventh lens element along the optical axis, and the following relation is satisfied: 3.0< FL/Dg< 20.0. 8. The seven-piece optical module for capturing image of claim 6 , further comprising an IR-CUT filter adjusting passing wavelength section of light of the image. 9.
