Well, not last at least. As an example of doing this kind of stuff it's pretty reasonable ... though not territory in which I have much expertise, so you aren't going to get a very thorough critique from me on that I fear.
Also, quite clearly, you suffered from the 'photographic integrity' thing that is rife around the site right now. Even though this is 'legal', there is certainly a reaction against the use of it - partly at least, out of fear that the 'real photography' component of the challenge is under threat. Maybe that will lessen as time goes on, but I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.
It fits the challenge, though. and there is something oriental-seeming in that processing you've done.
I don't like the crop on this with so much of the light teal at the top and on the right upper corner, as well as forming the dog's nose and seemingly cutting off its paws, etc. I think I'd have liked it a lot in a tighter crop and/or with some hint of where the nose ends.
Trying to do something creative with a boring pet photo is a good intention, ..but photoshop (or any ) is difficult to master. Keep trying with a bit more subtility.
