I like this one:

I also like how it's subtle.  Much like playing DF itself, looking at this screenshot doesn't give any huge payoff until you carefully read and understand everything.  Once you do, of course, it then allows you to construct a situation in your head that is just great.

What better symbol of DF than blood, ashes, blood, and more blood?

Note: this screen shot was produced with the aid of the Fortress Defense Mod in my sig .

Toss a few humans in that mess, and fun will be seen all over the place. A few kobolds and cats along with them in there could also sum up the image.

This isn't quite as funny as some of the other ones here, but it does make me sure laugh at the DF naming generator.

Ironic virtual cartographers.  I like it.

I can't post this since it was on my other machine, but I had my first "encased in cooling magma" deaths today while pit mining the magma sea.  If someone had told me that the previous sentence was a possible outcome of playing this game, I would have downloaded it immediately instead of a year after first hearing of it.

From another thread. I will never forget this image + the story Andreus wrote.

This picture is the true, undiluted essence of Dwarf Fortress. If you opened a dictionary and looked for Dwarf Fortress, you would not find any definition, just this image. Please, picture, if you will, this scene in your head - the militia commander Athel Sabrepunch, gem cutter by trade, wrestler and fighter by neccessity, stands locked in a desperate struggle with the child Cerol "Shamebirth" Handledbell, the small boy's eyes devoid of reason or compassion, burning with the unholy flame of a berserk fury. Spit and froth spew from his mouth as he screams incoherent fragments of obscenities into the face of his adversary in a dark, unwholesome language understood by none, not even himself. Though his opponent is twice his size, his rage gives him unnatural strength making him more than a match for the adult dwarf that stands between him and the desperately wounded invalids lying on the hospital beds not more than an armspan away. Athel knows that he must strike down this raging youngster, lest he kill not only him but the helpless convalescents as well. Seizing the moment, he bends into a crouch and seizes the child by his foot, and mustering all of his strength, tosses him shrieking against the wall. Before his opponent can react, he bullrushes him, setting his knee against the child's chest and, seizing him by the neck with both hands, squeezes with all his might. Cerol makes raspy choking sounds as the life slowly drains from his bruised and bloodstained body, his arms flailing helplessly, clawing at the dwarf above him. Tears stream from his eyes as the end approaches, and he stares helplessly up into the cold, emotionless eyes of Athel Sabrepunch, his soon-to-be-murderer and lets out a shriek of despair and terror that reaches no further than his bruised, spasming throat. "Shh, shhh, shhh" Athel coos softly, pressing down with his knee one more time. There is a dull gurgling sound, the child's eyes roll up into his head, and then there is silence, broken only by the groans of the wounded and the unearthly shrieks of the primeval monster laying waste to the land above.

Not really a screenshot but an image I assembled myself so all the surface layers are visible.

This, right here, is what I like to see.  Well done.
