For me it's hard to pick MY best shot, it's much more easier to pick someone elses best shot...
I like to choose a recent one, so that's why I decided to pick this one. Maybe not 'the best' shot I took, but I do love the overall image a lot.

I don't know if this is my best. I have quite a few shots I consider good. I don't think any are perfect due to lighting, motion or other issues. This one I consider to be among the best I have taken.
