You got it. I want to see the best photo you've ever taken. Number 1. Top of the heap. No second place winners here. Show me only your best!

There are a number that I like and I doubt that I could narrow them down to just one shot.
I noticed that you, Mr. Wilson did not show us your Best of the Best
 
I agree - my best is always the next one. But I am kinda partial to this one:

AND THIS

I cannot decide which I prefer.
 
Okay, part of why it is the best was I was holding Nikki's foot with one hand, and the Bessa R2 with the other. Canon 50/1.5 at F2, preset to 3ft and "move back and forth" for focus. Most of the shots came out, and Nikki made it across the Monkey bars.

I will change my mind in five minutes, but this is the one I think of as "best":

And this is the one that makes me feel best to look at, even though the napkin in the background kind of throws off the balance:

This is the one I am most proud of, so perhaps I'll call it my best :)

Hand held Hasselblad shot, F2.8 in dim light on HP5+ pushed to ISO1600. I had to pre-focus on the roof (very active/energetic band) and wait for the right moment then grab the shot, I think it was 1/60th of a second? I was standing on a wooden barrier getting bumped and pushed a lot by the crowd as well. One of the bands roadies saw me shooting with the Hasselblad and the next time they toured he came out into the crowd after the show (I also had my Hass with me then as well) and had his 500CM with him :) he had just bought it a week or so beforehand.
