You have a very pretty granddaughter, Raj...and she has a cute little pooch. Excellent entry for the contest. Best of luck with this well photographed image.
Raj, I think that 'Bounty' feels itself at ease in the company of your lovely granddaughter, but inherent to a doggy's nature, it stays alert. Although I'm not a dog (perhaps an 'old sea dog', lol), I would show this behavior as well when a person with a huge camera was swaying into my direction.
Good portrait and a very fine entry for the contest.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
A very sweet portrait Raj - your granddaughter is lovely and I love French bulldogs which I think that's what Bounty is. This should do well in the contest.
The slight softness of your daughter adds further interest in 'Bounty'...
A cracking entry for the contest
