The one best is a really hard call this year. I did not shoot a lot, but I did what I could to make it count. I think it comes done to this image or one with aurora over Split Rock lighthouse under a full moon.

A location usually noted for its wildlife rather than its landscapes. Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, early November.
Most humbling thread. I was only able to take one trip this year out to Grand Teton and Yellowstone; that was also my first major photo trip, I'm 17 and I've been shooting since I was 12, but I've just recently began my journey into the realm of DSLRs. Here is my humble submission.
Technically not a single shot. Its a 48 image multi row stitch.
Canon 5D
Gigapan Epic Pro
1/4s,f/13, 68mm, iso100
Stitched in Photoshop CS5
The resolution is huge and it can be printed very large.
I have been printing it at 30x60 as a 3 panel Triptych, both in Gallery wrap Canvas
an Dye sublimation on aluminum. It has been very popular at the art shows I do.
