Editing and selecting your own work is difficult.  Some photographers edit right away, while others let the images brew in the pot for a while.  You can't be biased, you need to step back and view your work as not your own.  This trait is challenging and rewarding at the same time.  Reviewing images and selecting the top 25, reduce to 10, reduce to 5, and select 1 is a process.  My best image for 2015 is one in which is difficult to sum up in words. Cataloging photos as Best; and to conclude the photo for this year is premature, yet I am excited about it.  It's because you wait and want the best image possible, so many factors are at stake.  You get the shot, and say nothing, and wait some more, until someone else sees it, and you hear the same response again and again.  You feel validated, yet you knew when you first saw the image, it was the one.  You release the shutter and let the brilliance fill the room.
