The windswept summit of Santa Fe mountain (12,000′ elevation) taken with an X2 last week. While the X2 is certainly a minimalist's camera I'm very happy to have 16mpx with a gorgeous lens and CMOS sensor in my parka pocket while skiing. Opens up a whole new world. Yes, I could have captured this image with my iphone5 or D-Lux5 but the image quality out of the X2 is so much more refined. It is a lovely, easy Leica to operate one-handed (which was helpful in the bitter cold) and I have not yet found the need to use the accessory viewfinder.
Image edited with LR&PS.
PS The bright specks in the sky were blowing snow and ice crystals.
