First Impressions
I like this - but does look like more potential...
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
I like the effect that slight blur and/or screen/mesh has created on the dog. I find the door dominates the image too much and I am distracted by the skew. I did a quick edit on this image, mainly rotating it, and I like it better when the dog is straight and the door frame also straighter, but your preference may be as is.
I didn't vote in this Challenge, nor enter it, and whilst I see that you may have been trying to enhance the framing aspect (or just 'finish' the photograph) with another frame (border) around the image, I find that it detracts from the theme for the Challenge and doesn't allow the frame you have to really pop.
Whilst the challenges within the image, such as the whites of the door/frame and the darkness of the dog inside, and behind the screen, create a difficulty for you to edit, I wonder about either trying to minimize that outer white, by a much tighter crop and/or use it to an extreme, by going for a highly pushed contrast effect - but that is a personal creative inkling perhaps and may not appeal to you. Essentially what I am suggesting is creating an effect with your base image using post processing.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
116/125 is low low down the pack and your score of 4.86 from the voters tells your average from the voters was and why it falls so low in the pack. 5.66 from your commenters is of course much stronger and most seemed to like your vision, with some helpful suggestions and comments thrown in as well.
Summary
Nice moment captured, that in my opinion, with some further refinement in post processing (primarily crop/angle/etc), could have produced a stronger image. |

| This is so not a sub-5 shot! I guess people really wanted the main subject in sharp focus for this one. |

| Ouch. Have to admit though, it only got a 5 from me, and I'm a generous voter. Sorry 'bout that. |

| What a noble face! Like the composition. Think I'd prefer focus be on the dog instead of the door, but it's not a strong preference. |
