the image that makes up the portion of the panorama that "your" interested in can be found here..

Thanks Trinket.

Neil, the color image has been skewed and stretched in the process of creating the panorama. The greyscale image is the "correct" one. They are not two different perspectives. An examination of the shadows around other rocks reveals that the sun was almost directly overhead when the image was captured. The "Bigfoot" is the slightly shadowed fractured edge of a mostly buried rock. This is much easier to discern from the greyscale image.

I still think it's all a comedy..

When I first examined that area I did these..
But my thinking was.. Hmmm what multi layered art was covered up here..

If you "know" this to be true perhaps you can provide us with the link to the raw data image which contains the acquisition parameters.

I'm not ready to put a frame on this one without knowing more about its provenance, as I said in my first comment on the "Venus statue." But it is very interesting, given artificiality elsewhere on Mars.

The image provenance must be reliable and provable, otherwise, we don't know what we're looking at, really.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

I'm buying into the the "tampering" theory on this one. Why is Venus' head in the dark? Isn't the sun shining on that part of her anatomy? Maybe it's to hide her face details.[Neil DeRosa]
