Narrative:

Received gear door EICAS message and door annunciation on the forward panel after gear retraction. We referenced the QRH; declared an emergency and returned for landing. Great job by crew and ATC. Maintenance suspected the left main landing gear door did not close after retraction. The jet was taken out of service.
