Probably this one, although I have to say I don't really have any real favorites.
I can't just have one! I love light and detail. My eye can scan these over and over and still find new things to look at.

Very nice....

My favourite, of mine, is probably the one just below. It isn't a popular choice among those that have looked in my gallery but I just like the geometry of it and the pure luck.
The pic at the bottom is probably my second favourite, simply because I find her stare towards the camera to be hard to look away from.
It's an intriguing process to discover what it is you like and how (and why) it differs from other peoples preferences amongst your images.

For me it would be by type of photo....maybe style I was going for or accidently found.
This is street in NYC. M4-P, 50 'cron rigid (older than me), arista 400 @ 200. I really want to wet print this.

With much reason, Lynn. The impact a new sibling has on the mind of a very young brother or sister must be amazing. I think your photograph captures someone's realization that things do change.

Lots of cool photos here!
This one is certainly ONE of my favorites, if not my actual favorite. I simply love trains, and I took this one in what seems such a long time ago.

These 3 are some of my current favorites. I have a large print of the first one and it looks great enlarged and on a black background.

Ride, dive, shoot.
I know what you mean Michael. On Flickr, there are photos I like a lot but didn't get much of interests while some other photos that I was like "meh" get huge favs. Although I must say Flickr's large part of crowds are more into camera portraits and cute girls anyway. 
I liked this a lot, but the feedback was just OK.
Liked this one too. Some people did too, but one guy was "ah, your photo has uneven developing".
On the other hand, this photo was published in China because the editor saw and loved it. To me, this was just OK shot and felt a bit too hipsterish...
I liked these two and seems other people agreed.

Real Men Shoot Film.
It is hard for me to choose one that I can call my best or my favorite. I have more than 1100 photographs on my website and more than 1500 more I need to add that I have scanned and god knows how many on the 300+ rolls of film I have waiting to be edited and scanned.
That said, I am presenting this one because it was the first image that I made that I knew at the moment that I released the shutter that I had made a photograph that would be counted as one of my best no matter what else I ever did in my career.
For a year, I regularly drove past this abandoned farmhouse on Maysville Road on the northeastern edge of the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana. At the time, I lived near it and the road past it led to a shopping center where I bought groceries and did other shopping at the time.
One day I saw a bulldozer sitting in front of it. It was going to be torn down! I had never thought it looked very interesting before, but I figured if it was going to be demolished, i should try to photograph it. After photographing it, I noticed a door open, so I walked in and found the interior interesting.
I was out of film though and it was getting late, about 5pm and it was beginning to get darker outside, which meant little light inside. I rushed downtown to the camera store, calling them on my cell phone to beg them to stay open to sell me more film! This was on a saturday, so I HAD to get the inside photographed on Sunday, because the place was most likely going to be demolished on Monday. I got a bunch of Tmax 400, 120 size, and went back sunday afternoon to shoot the inside.
After photographing the living room, kitchen, and bathroom downstairs, I noticed a narrow stairway to the second floor. This was in a cold winter, ice covered the entire floor of the house, and the stairs were covered in ice too. There was no handrail. I walked up without my heavy kit to see if there was anything up there. The two bedrooms were not interesting, and I did not photograph them. As I was about to head back down the stairs, I noticed a narrow hallway with a low ceiling leading off of one of the bedrooms. It led to a walk in attic, to THE PICTURE. The roofing was mostly gone, the floor covered in snow, and that dress! I did not hang it there; in fact, I was afraid to step out onto the floor for fear of falling through it.
I went back down the icy stairs and grabbed my bag and tripod. I stood in the doorway in the little hall and setup my Mamiya 645 Super with the 45mm wide angle lens and I did something I have never done before or since. I shot the same identical photos on 3 separate rolls of film as triple insurance against ANY screwup of the developing and I processed those three rolls in separate tanks. I just KNEW that this photograph was one that I could not live without. It had to come out. The other photos from the house are good, but if they all got lost except the dress photo, it would not matter....if I ever become famous, that photograph of the dress will be one of my greatest works.

My niece's wedding last year. I had not long had the ZM C Sonnar (optimized for 1.5) and had bought a roll of Tri-X after a long absence. This shows so well the character of the lens and I was pleased with the composition. I focussed on his lapel flower. This is 1/60 at 1.5 with Tri-X rated at 400. Possibly the M2 but likely the M6 - but metering definitely with the Gossen hand-held, incident.

Taken 40 years or so ago, it's still a favorite of mine. Light, detail, expression, mood, all combined to make it work for me. I have a better scan in my files at home, but this one is a pretty good version, if a bit darker than I like. It's actually one of my few "posed" shots, but is not a wedding photo. My sister in law is the model who posed in her mother's bridal gown for an art project and I took this at that time.

My favorite at the moment is this one:

Shot with my Canonet on Ilford HP5+
I shot it from the hip and I'm really happy how it turned out. It's exactly how i wanted it, except for the focus... (Guessing focus at f/1.7 is fun ^_^ )
