This image from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Spirit was shown at Cornell on September 30, 2004, about one week before its official unveiling.  During his lecture titled "Roving on Mars", Jim Bell called it the "defining image of the mission."

That's a nice image, but haven't there been some more spectacular ones?

What I would love to see is a low-angle from the front shot of the rover sailing over the edge of a sand dune, with a Martian riding atop it.  We gotta find an illustrator out there who can do this...
