What a FUN challenge to participate in! I loved all the wonderful comments, and I love the artful way everyone took their best stab at seeing their world through Ubique's eyes!
This is my sweet, sweet Daisy. I was pretty far away, using my zoom lens, shooting through a rose bush. She couldn't for the life of her figure out why I wanted her to sit there behind the bush, but she dutifully obliged, as she kept poking her head around like, "Can I come over to you and give you kisses now???" As you might guess... I am psycho in love with Daisy :)
It was hard for me to submit this in black and white because I almost always prefer color photos. But, the color version just didn't seem to fit with the wonderful style that seems to suit our challenge honoree.
Here is the color version that is probably a bit more my style than Paul's :)

lovely portrait of the pouch, crisp clean with great tones peering at me quizzically figuring out why ive made them sit and wait, have i got i got a treat is there going to be a walk etc
Lovely, Lovely shot. There is a human element to this dog; I have seen it in my own. I believe it comes from a lot of love and respect. This is a loved and respected dog keeping guard over his territory and his master.
Lovely dog, beautifully photographed. This gentle, understated photograph is so much more emotive than would be anything more unequivocal. Than anything more typical, I mean. You may have been just letting your hair down for the purposes of this challenge, but this is a stand-out lovely pet portrait in my view. The things withheld, or at least not emphasised or exaggerated, are what makes it so good I reckon. Bravo you! Thank you.
A lovely almost tridimensional image. The sitter is amazingly wise and with enough psychological complexities and the processing just perfect
