Faces from the Chasmas

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">When the famous faces from the MOC days like the Nefertiti Profile image are finally imaged in high resolution, don't be disappointed if they look like this. Ive often thought that this was a kind of "minimalist" art where the natural terrain was modified just enough to create an effect at a distance. We'll see. Here is another face from the chasmas.

Here's an MOC face previously posted that would look quite similar in landforms under high resolution. [Neil]

Actually your "Farmer and Owl" is one of my previously posted faces; it is superimposed on the slightly more realistic "Clown" face but facing in the opposite direction(see my "Keys" thread and "Clean Copies" thread). But both are well detailed antropomorphic faces, which fit my model.

Here is what the previously posted face might look like in an MOC image of 5 m/p (taken from the low-res browser image). The face is around 500 m wide including the "hair," and around 150 m wide, profile only.

6243 1740 Face 1 is included as a possible artifact for the usual reasons I have been giving. Unless we find actual wrecked machinery on Mars I believe this is all we can expect of any hypothesized artificial structure, namely the natural terrain is modified to look anthropomorphic (or animal-like).

Here is a clean copy with key of my most recent Chasma Face. I'm curious if anyone thinks it is an unfair enhancement of the raw data image easily accessed at the link (aside from the question of whether or not it is an artificial structure). [Neil]
