I always loved this page!
And I also always loved the very similar cover for this issue by Perez--one of HIS best! It's so rare to see almost the same image done by two different masters.
And if I can cheat a little, I also loved Hawkeye's face in this follow-up page in the same issue--

This sequence always stuck in my mind. Made me realize how bad-ass Cap really is with his shield.
And any Hulk drawings.

Eric, that's a great splash page. And I agree it's really cool to see Perez' take on it on the cover. That issue, Avengers #181, was the one that really made me become a die-hard comics fan and Byrne fan without even realizing it yet. (I was 9.)

I'm looking at these with great admiration, "Oh, I like that one. Oh! And that one aaand that one!" With that sort of a reaction, I have to acknowledge that like so many here, I'd find it too difficult to settle on a single choice.That said, in order to play along, I'd say the following image is one I continue to admire, despite how long ago and how much farther John has raised the bar subsequently.
This thread must be torture for John, a lot of these images being posted he may well remember kindly but I'd imagine he'll be picking holes in them! "Did I really do 'thing-a-may's' like that!?"-sorry John.
edit- In looking for the image I was thinking of (Doc Samson stood talking into his dictaphone) I saw the above image and changed my mind...which goes a long way to illustrate the difficulty in choosing a thing, when every example of it is so gosh-darned good!

"Byrne characters are really good actors aren't they? Not just a collection of poses"
You are so right - the characters really do 'act'.
I am Autistic and I have to concentrate very hard in 'real life' to understand body language. As a boy, I was given lots of books to look at containing black and white photographs of people so as to learn the non-verbal signals people give off (Happy. Sad. 'See the frown, does it mean this person is angry or puzzled?' etc). Maybe it's because of those books that I like comics, I am not sure. But I can tell you this - when I look at a John Byrne drawing of a person I know exactly what is going on with that character - I don't have to work at it. Yes, I can appreciate a dynamic pose drawn by Jack Kirby, but with most artists a pose is just a that - a pose. With Mr Byrne's art there is an extra layer of story-telling that is a gift to someone like myself. No other artist communicates people to me like Mr Byrne does and that is why I am a fan.*
* I am not being sycophantic, in case anyone thinks that, for me this is simply a statement of fact.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR CHRONICLES #1 COVER. The team is working together to prevent a rocket from crashing into Gotham. Yes! NYC is GOTHAM. Not Chicago.
