There is just so much . . but I'd like to mention a few personal favourites. I'll describe them first, then add the links when I find them.

First mention goes to the endless cylindrical Homeplate pan by James Canvin/Andy G. This is a panorama presented as panoramas should be, and I'll never tire of plugging it. Unfortunately it is still the only one of it's kind as far as I know.

Now a couple of more overtly artistic contributions. A piece of impromptu collaboration by several members resulted in an APOD of Meridiani sands and clouds in October 06. But there was also a version with no gap in the sky by Astro0. I saved that one too.

We often overlook the fact that we have NO nighttime pictures of the Martian landscape - for obvious reasons. But 'being there' means being there at night too, so a special thanks to Stu for having a go with Victoria at night. I've chosen the one without the moons.

ED: Not having much luck getting a working link to that one. I've no idea which thread it was posted on but I'll keep looking.

I'm beginning to understand why I couldn't find the proper umsf location where Stu posted that image. Searching through his posts for October 06 I found that he posted it on the Duck Bay thread at 10:38 pm on Oct 11. Now when I go back to the Duck Bay thread I find that there are no posts after 26th September.
