Optimal paddle size depends on a few things. Is that photo of you? Optimal paddle size depends on age, gender, body size, hand size, strength, swimming experience, and current swimming yardage. If you can give me some info about all that, I might be able to give you a general suggestion.
Also, if that photo is you, I would say your head is kind of low. You don't want your face to face straight down at the bottom of the pool. You want to slightly tilt (but not "lift") your head so that your relaxed line of sight is a spot a few yards/meters ahead of you at the bottom of the pool. So the angle of your face, sort of as pictured below (red lines) should be approximately 20-30 degrees from horizontal. Usually near 20 degrees, and not greater than 30 degrees.
