I think ‘eminent’ is OK (i.e. conspicuous; standing out).

We could split hairs, but I’m going with standard usage. ‘Eminent’ usually refers to high ranking or the equivalent, such as ‘an eminent official of the church’. ‘Immanent’ refers to an inherent quality, such as, ‘she was immanently practical’.

Your mileage may vary.
