A couple of people identified larger formats. Mine was 35mm film. Interesting question. What looks larger to you?

I like what you like about it, and I don't think it's over the top at all. It would be interesting (to me) if he/she weren't looking at the camera, too. Are there other pictures in the sequence?

No just the one shot as far as I remember, it was taken a few years ago and this is a scan from a print, not sure where the neg is, I don't photograph people I don't know very often [despite doing it for a living at weddings], I never find it very easy to do, particularly photographing children, but I remember it was such a compelling image I overcame my comfort zone......Robert.

Tulip Town 2009. My best. Seneca 5x7 Improved view camera, Fujichrome Velvia 100F. The transparency looks much much better.

Shot last week (Leica M8 + 1950s Summicron 50mm) - straight shot, no faffing in Photoshop (granted, it was set up - moth (dead) from eBay, Blutacked to bottle!).

Hello, here is one of my best pics taken with a Canon VI-T + Canon 50mm f/1.8 LTM :
Taken in a german blockhaus (an atomic submarine base) in Saint-Nazaire, last city liberated in Europe at the end of WWII.
Excellent.

Well I took "your best" to mean the one the photographer likes best from what they've produced, and in my mind that means the one that works best in each of our heads for us. Not the one(s) somebody else likes. I can't fathom continuing to work without being extremely self-critical, by studying my images as they make it to paper (or screen) and understanding what makes them work. Sure this involves listening to the opinions of those people I believe have a good sense of design, of the technical aspects of photography and who will give me honest feedback when an image is missing something in their eye. I count on several people to do this, and value their explanations of why images succeed or fail for them.
Your first image works best to my eye, despite the tree at lower left which I find distracting. I think the balance being slightly off kilter without the tree would help give the feeling I imagine being on such a narrow stone path with that sheer drop in the fog. The second fails for me for the shallow depth of field, this is an image I'd prefer to wander through with enough detail available to stay with both the figure and the reflection. The OOF gravel lower right is to distracting in #3, despite the stunning blue and buzz in the water above that gravel my eye keeps being dragged back to that corner.
