Hello. A few more images to study.

A view of the face. I was able to smooth out or reduce the noise.

Have you never noticed shapes in clouds? :rolleyes:

 

 

Look, Timmy... That one there... it looks like insanity.

Am I the only one who can see the laughing pig in a pirate hat in the last pic in post 3?

Hello. A sample of some images on my website.

 

Study carefully. Remember, These images are directly from

the ESA/Mars Express website. All I did was to enlarge

them 1.5X to 2.0X, seperate colors, adjust contrast,

and some filtering...

Here are a few very good articles for you to consider, KS:

And consider the effect called "Pareidolia":

http://skepdic.com/pareidol.html

The term pareidolia (pronounced /pæraɪˈdoʊliə/), referenced in 1994 by Steven Goldstein,[1] describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- — beside, with or alongside — and eidolon — image (the diminutive of eidos — image, form, shape). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia.
Source: Wikipedia

((Yes, it's wikipedia, but it's a decent start - the resources in that specific article are pretty good)).

 

And finally, this is a REALLY awesome video about "man on the moon" photos and Pareidolia:

 

So:

The brain is far from perfect. We evolved to see and recognize patterns when images aren't really there.

The images you shared with us show different shapes and lose their "effect" when taken from a different angle.

 

And lastly, having such 'shapes and faces' on mars has a bigger meaning than just paredolia... it has implications on history, "UFOlogy" and science in general. So allow me to remind you that "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Having a face on mars means there are intelligent life in the universe that visit(ed/ing?) us is quite extremely extraordinary. Images that only look the way they do in one angle and from a specific enlargement are not sufficient evidence.

Geologic forces. Not splashy, not quick, not man-made, but totally awesome in their scope and majesty.

 

Are you going to listen and participate in the answers we give you, or are you just here to post "enhanced" photos?

Praise be to the FSM! You're right!

edit: you can't really read the labels. going clockwise from the top: Medusa, Boba Fett, Groaning face, Sad Lion

KS42, you wouldn't happen to know "Walt" from metaresearch would you?

Strange Martian geology......Images speak for themselves...
I didn't hear a thing. :confused:

 

How about my image? Did I miss any faces?
Your faces are feces. :P Unless... we maybe could sell the Sad Lion image to Disney for the Narnia movies....

yes, mars has some interesting geology, and it is exactly that, geology, not architecture or landscaping.

So, he has no answers, and he's trolling... should I act shocked or just surprised?

 

I see it more as spam for his site than trolling. I saw a purple unicorn in one of his pictures, which is clear insight that leprechauns are up there performing fellatio on one another. :rolleyes:

Unless anyone has any photos of Martian elephants or berries they'd like to share?

 

Perhaps not.
