Is this the best selfie ever taken?
Never mind Ellen DeGeneres' famous Oscar snap... A picture taken during the Canal Parade at the Amsterdam Gay Pride festival has been dubbed the best selfie ever.
The picture shows a man dressed in a Navy uniform while on a flyboard using a selfie stick to capture the colourful parade below and behind him.

We spotted the picture on the Metro, but it was first uploaded to Imgur and Reddit by a user called rikaay.
One reddit user wrote: "Amsterdam gay pride has jetpacks... I've made a conscious decision to holiday in Amsterdam next year during their pride parade."
Another wrote: "Three of my buddies are there right now. They had no idea that it was pride and only found out about a month ago. They're having a blast."
Tens of thousands of people attended the 20th Amsterdam Gay Pride boat parade on Saturday afternoon, with the theme of this year's event being 'share the love, love the differences'.
According to Dutch News, the event involved 80 boats covering a six kilometre route around the city centre.
The site reports that a first this year saw one boat carrying refugees.
There was also a small bit of drama when one boat carrying 10 people was hit by a wave and capsized next to the Hermitage museum. No one was hurt, and the crew managed to swim to safety.
The NL Times reports that Amsterdam is the top candidate to be the host of EuroPride 2016, the European-wide Gay Pride festival.
Lucien Spee, director of Amsterdam Gay Pride, said: "Everyone can see that Amsterdam is the only real gay capital of Europe.
"What is special about the Gay Pride in Amsterdam is that the whole city is involved. Everyone participates. Madrid maybe attracts more visitors, but Gay Pride is nowhere as inclusive as in Amsterdam."
