There are quite a few images of this place from Curiosity and they can be found in my thread about the Standing Water and in the ATS thread linked to by that one.
I think when we discover things like this we should see what other views there are of the area which may give us extra clues.
If, for example, there is an image from another perspective, then it may show the feature in more detail or may show it to be flat or raised etc. Using one image as source is not honing our good investagative skills (which we should all be doing) and if we want others to believe us (including the public and scientists who visit looking for 'proof') then we have to offer more than one image as source and the anomaly from different angles or times of the day(different shadows)
Haha - ya maybe he's been flattened already. but seriously - I don't understand what you mean. The light source is on the top right and shadow on bottom left of all objects in the photo. Why would it be flat? the shadow seems consistent with the rover.
How about this guy ... running from the rover as he thinks he might get crushed ... From: http://i.space.com/images/i/21088/original/mars-rover-curiosity-wheels-dirt.jpg
Cheers for going the extra mile on ur images and nothing wrong with your graphical line skills. There's a shadow on left of ur subject. Light source on right. This equates to ur anomaly being flat on the ground. This may change the way you interpret ur finding? TW

I am open to the idea of miniature humanoids on Mars, on earth our folklore are filled with stories of little people, but all I am seeing is devastated geology and possible evidence of recent surface water/liquid, the humanoid to the right could also be interpreted as a robotic head, a scrunched up lifeforms, or a bathroom accessory.
Ask yourself, is it realistic to see two humanoids chilling in the Martian sun while a rover takes snapshots of them?

There seems to be some miniature humanoids. (about 2.5cm high)
The one on the right seems to be leaning with his back on a rock and right knee raised.

Do you have any blowups to give us an idea on location. cheers

The first image attached is my zoomed in version ... Once you see him, you can't unsee him ... as a work collegue put it.
LOL... Yes... Once you see him I guess u will see it everywhere. Pitty others whom are asking dont see what u percieve. Now thats a problem. Would be nice to see you crop and blowup the humanoid and point out identifying areas like arms legs etc. Reminds me of a quote. A person whom I wished I had met.

The yellow arrows ... ok. Have u zoomed in to see if the humanoid form (u see) maintains the structure u describe?
