Without commenting on the political commentary you seem to be going for (and no, I'm not worried...oops I commented): the focus point seems to be on the couch, I would expect it to be on the dog and the white balance is way off to my taste.
I'm not sure what to say here. The color is a bit off, the exposure as well. Iffy about the composition here as well. I'm sorry, I just don't see where you were going with it.
Not the best technically (the dog is slightly out of focus) but I love it none the less. A mundane, common subject made interesting. Good luck in the challenge!
