To me, this shot is gorgeous. I believe it is specific to the DE as well. The look in his eyes is the way I imagine I'll look at my wife one day - that, combined with the reflected Enterprise leads me to push this as the best single fram from TMP: Directors Edition.
However, I know others will think differently, so I am interested in your favorite frames.

Either he's unable to respond, or he's unwilling to respond. Probably because that's a very peculiar way to write your first post here at Flare, fawning over Shatner's baby blue's.
I saw a frame of the room where they keep the EVA-suits, I guess it was just before Spock left the Enterprise to go fondle V'Ger.

Crazy sort of on-topic post: I believe the only thing that's new in that shot is the reflection, though I might be wrong.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people around here don't care for TMP. It really is too bad, as it is the most truly, grandly cinematic of all the Trek films. Robert Wise is simply one of the greatest directors of all time, and the movie really is an example of Trek at its finest.
I too like the shot you posted, and the addition of the reflections is probably the ONLY change in the Director's Edition which I didn't absolutely LOATHE. To me the DE was, substantially, a hackjob. But alas...
I always thought two of the best sequences were the Klingon cruisers approaching at the very beginning and Kirk stepping off the air tram at San Francisco, his face first framed by the window and then his whole form fully revealed in his snazzy dress uniform. But really, every shot in the original movie was exquisitely framed and photographed.

We're just playfully cynical, that's all. We all exhibit a kind of "fashionable disdain" for each other that's more bark than bite. There very much exists a "fresh meat" type attitude towards new posters, but if you stick around for a bit and your posts feature content that's of some interest to folks, (and you can phrase it reasonably intelligibly, which I see you can) they'll warm up to you quickly enough.
