Very good point Xenon. After looking at the whole picture again it appears that only certain objects have been "covered with sand" and others have been masked with what looks like a white goo. A good example of this is the white mess in the very center and towards the top of this pic. And Ken is also correct in stating that the clarification techniques I (and others) use can not only clarify but distort in certain ways. I really have no Idea why the objects show the apparent "pottery" look they do as if they are made with hardened mud. It is very hard to tell the reality from the apparently engineered distortion. All I can really do is point out what I see and the rest is all conjecture.
I dont have it with me but the whole picture is centered around a stone directly behind the rover. When enhanced there is a glow around it like it is the reason the pic was taken. Very odd with figures on it. I will try to post it before the weekend.
Thanks for pointing out what I have been saying for a while now, that gives me a bit of confirmation that I am not the only one who sees these cartoonish , as you say comical figures. I have clarified some of this pic to the best of my ability and I believe the letters you are seeing are actually more relief carvings one of which is reminicent of a horse. There is much obfuscation and masking in this pic and I dont believe any of the "sand" is real. A good find and thanks for posting!
Yes it does look like a relief carving of a horse on that rock and the sand looks "painted on" or "laid on" the photograph, but I don't know if that is just the effect of increased contrast, if you increased the contrast at all that is. But it is a fact that the clearer a photo is made, the more anomalies seem to crop up or are noticed. I think that is the just nature of the beast and we have to accept it.
NASA does obfuscate a lot of things in the photos it releases to the public, that is a given.
Humanoid like skulls in either a grotesque or a cartoonish comical style are fairly common to be seen in some of the photos that the rover has taken.
I will post one screen shot photo from the PIA 16453 panorama that seem show these grotesque/comical humanoid skull like carvings.
If This is the case, then how can we trust the rest of the image?
If this image is really of Mars then most of the objects you point out look (to me at least) like clay/mud deposits, which questions how they are left on the surface, if it had been billions of years (or even millions of years) since water last flowed on Mars then the clays would be buried compressed or eroded to dust, yet we see surface deposits like these in other rover images too, if these anomalies including the obfuscation ones are artificially created/carved then it raises more questions of what events could distort the objects to the shapes they appear now.
Every anomaly found raises more questions and often show other anomalies surrounding them, the key is not to confuse the simple with the complicated otherwise we are left with to much uncertainty

You have a lighter colored rock or stone on the bottom right with what looks like letters of the alphabet on it of what would almost spells out "EXIT" or a jumble of very earth like letters the way a dyslexic would write "EXIT". This rock is just to the left and bottom of that mid horizontal protrusion on the Rover's camera mast tower.
There is a slight bas relief carving on the rock or stone to the left and the background groupings of stone that have the grotesque/comical human like skull formation that is rather common on Mars, the type that you would find in a Warner Brothers cartoon or a carnival fair of 60 to 80 years ago on earth.
It looks like the comical representation of the skull of Daffy Duck

What exactly are we talking about here? If you mean the ractangular object on the top right, that is part of the rover, so it would likely have latters and numbers on it. If you mean something else, maybe you could point it out to us and tell us what you see please?
When you post, you need to firstly tell us where the official image comes from (whichyou have done), secondly give us some idea what you are seeing in the image, and thirdly, make some comment about it rather than say something like "Look at this", which is open to all kinds of interpretations which you may not have meant when you posted.
Forgive me, but we have government people on here who are trying to waste our time and to mislead us, so we have to have some kind of protocols to stop their silly shenanigans.
