We spend a lot of time complaining on these forums. But we can offer praise, too.
Please post moments when your DM did something - huge, small, anything - that struck you as excellence in DMing.
Here's my first one:
I was asking if I could use a particular feat, from a splatbook. [The DM's policy is that we have to ask if it's not in a core book.]
His response:
... that feat is a little broken. It's in there and you made a great build!
I can either learn to adapt for smart players or go back to just playing. My characters tend toward the strongest in a group, so it's a good bit of karma. :-)
FYI, I've already figured out scenarios where you will shine and where that nice combination of yours will be useless, so it's all good. ;-)
What I consider excellence in DMing is that he was already planning both situations where my PC will shine, and ones where his build will be useless. I get both the advantages of a strong build, and the challenge of situations where he's in trouble.

So when did your DM really impress you?
