Do you have one image that stands out above all others?

Yes, I have some truly awful, like "what was I thinking" kind of images that stand out that I would not likely want to repeat . . .
Haha, I have those too but the one I’m referencing is fine visually and technically. It’s just not visually my best but it is the most outstanding to me. I gave myself a difficult brief for the image and felt I achieved it.

Oh, my brief as someone may ask was mankind: past, present and future. It was also a film image, no digital trickery available.

Scroll up and you will see my last comment regarding the need for the image to be the best. It doesn’t need to be the best of anything. It only needs to be outstanding to the one who took it.
I will never display it as I just don’t feel there is a need for others to see it.

I think it is a little sad that you won’t even display a thumbnail version here among people who come together to share photography topics.

I do share. There are many who share nothing. I don’t think it is sad that I am not prepared to share every single image I have ever taken. You are asking a little much?

I have a number of images that I’m very proud of, but there is one that I consider very special. It has taken awards and every competition I have entered it in, including the judges choice award in a national competition.
When I took the image it required that I sit and wait for about 25 minutes for the sun to drop down into the position I wanted. I knew ahead of time that the image was going to require two exposures, one for the foreground and one for the sky. Those images would later be blended to give the final result.

The actual quote is, “Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.”

I'm all about tomorrow...don't stay in today very long, and try my very best to stay completely out of yesterday. So, no, no favorite, they just keep coming!

Though a number of photographs I've done have ended up in books, won awards, etc., the one that I feel is significant is a piece of crap. However, it was significant in that it was the first that I realized I had accomplished the ability to pre-visualize the scene. The scene was quite dramatic. I set about knowing how the scene appeared and would appear in the final print. The only thing wrong was that I had forgotten to remove my sunglasses and based the exposure on my view through them. The negative would produce only a muddied version of what I had imagined. It looked like the scene did through my sunglasses. But, that was the significance of that photograph.

Not asking to share every single image. Just the one that is the subject of this topic. I am sure it is a good one

Totally agree. The image only has to be outstanding to the one who took it. My image for example visually is not my biggest wow image but it’s not the wow that makes the image special.
I have some that are my favorites, others say "nice".
Ones that I think are okay or eh, others say "wow".
Go figure.
It depends on the person viewing it,
how it may move them (or not),
including the photographer.
Again, best is relative.

The artist spends years learning to create images no one else could create in a life-time.
