Nice sharpness, not familiar with the breed but the capture seems a bit odd; the angle makes the muzzle appear foreshortened.

B&W suits the aggressive look of the dog ... good capture and presentation
I would probably crop to have about half of each ear with corresponding less throat and background at the top ... but probably not if it was my daughter's guardian The eyes and mouth are the essence of this photo to me with the B&W treatment.

It is a bulldog...this is a very strong dog by nature.

Hi Bob - and welcome to the CiC forums from me.

You haven't said whether you were looking for critique on this shot, if so, I'd recommend you have a read of the first post in this thread:
How to Get Effective Feedback for your Posted Images

I'll assume you were looking for some feedback to improve, but if not, stop reading now.

I'll give a run down of the aspects of this image that attract my attention;
1) The teeth
2) The ears
3) Your logo
4) The collar rings
5) The paw

Not all of these contribute to this as a pet portrait, some are in your control, either at time of shooting or in post processing.

As John has mentioned, the shot was captured with the subject at an unusual angle (having a scratch?), which (for me) does the him/her no favours - please don't let Romo (or your daughter) read this, I do not wish to cause upset.

EXIF data: Nikon D7100, 116mm (Tamron 70-200mm, f/2.8 Di Lens) at f/9, 1/1250, ISO 2500, shutter priority, spot metered using -2/3 stop exposure compensation.
Mono conversion in LR 5.7.

If mine, I think I'd have tried to extract some more detail in and around the eyes with selective adjustments on each, since we instinctively look at the eyes to judge character and here, I feel the detail is a little too far in the blacks.

It was shot from above, rarely a good angle for any pet shot, try getting down to their level - or raising them to camera height by sitting them on something.

You have achieved good separation of subject from background with both focus and tonality.
Your choice of B&W was probably also wise, since I'd guess the collar colour would otherwise have attracted too much viewer attention.

I hope those thoughts are helpful - if not, just disregard.

We have several members here that are excellent pet shooters, Richard in particular comes to mind, with luck he may offer some advice and examples.

All the best, Dave
