Wilma's IR imagery photo Cycloneye posted with that tiny eye is for me the most impressive. I am still awestruck looking at that image.

Rita is a victim of what I call the "Hurricane Edna Effect", just like 1954 in which Carol & Hazel overshadowed the middle storm in 2005 Rita is overshadowed by her more infamous sisters Katrina & Wilma.

I gotta say Igor was my favorite satellite image of all time, but some other memorable ones:

Super Typhoon Megi from last year was incredible. An absolute monster with bands everywhere:

Also I think Hurricane Dean making landfall with such a distinct eye throughout landfall was extremely impressive. I could only imagine the destruction it caused in the Yucatan:

To add to the interesting category, this image always freaks me out to think of how quickly she went from this to cat 5 monster. Tropical Storm Wilma:

Many of the newer photos probably trump this, but when the picture of Elena shot from the space shuttle was released back in 1985, it became an instant classic:
