Maybe somekinda interplay of light and shadow. I dunno.

It might be a compression artefact.
Interesting, to bad FunBox is banned would love to hear what he has to say about it. :(

See if you can find a site where he isn't banned and post it there. You might be searching for some time though. ::)

Same with many others here. Banned for saying what we think. Guess we all need to learn to shut it.
Unless your someone like maybe matrix traveler or many others that actually shocked me with some of their behaviors can say what you please. Favorites every website.
Disappointed...Goodbye
Kindness counts ::)
This is what it looks like in the video.

This is what it looks like when zooming in on the original image.

Too much JPEG artefacts, it's hard to say what it may be.
Edited to add the less compressed version available on the Analyst's Notebook (https://an.rsl.wustl.edu/msl/mslbrowser/br2.aspx?tab=solsumm), resized to 500% like the previous image.

You can say what you think. Just don't be rude or abusive and allow a reasonable discussion to take place. There is not freedom just to post anything, there are rules. If you don't like them that is fine, it isn't your site.
The high resolution image from the standard mars.jpl.nasa.gov site, with partial zooming, Sol 1144.
This is a weird looking obviously anomalous feature here on the side of Mars hill, either photo generated or............! :o

Don't forget, that is the jpg which has been compressed. :)

That's the problem with photos from Curiosity, even the original photos use JPEG compression, although not as high as the photos published on the MSL site.
That's the result of people wanting colour photos, they got them, but they are worse than the greyscale photos.
The interplay of shadow and light (if that's what it supposedly is) doesn't look right. The lit area seems to be at the wrong angle compared to the surrounding shadows.
Whatever it is it just doesn't look right to me - doesn't look like it belongs in the photo.
If this feature were added purposely........why?? Well of course, it is just a "lens flare"!! :)
I think I found another photo that shows that area, but it doesn't help much.

Just wanted to bump this and keep the discussion going... that is indeed an interesting photo; and I agree, it really does seem out of place yet it definitely resembles a humanoid type figure possibly in uniform... I need some type of program that will allow me to actually zoom in on these photos...
suggestions?

Seeker, can you take a screenshot, and then zoom/magnify the screenshot?? That is one of the ways I additionally mag a pic sometimes.

For some reason this stupid HP computer (with windows 10) won't let me do a screen capture :o

I use mostly Gimp (https://www.gimp.org/) for my image processing needs. It's free. :)

Is it a laptop? If it is try to press the "Fn" key at the same time you press the "PrtSc" key.

Making a screenshot is a great feature on my Apple IMAC - It is just simply hit command/shift/4 together, and then with the mouse put a border around the desired photo area and click-it!!
Maybe it is the HP computer, but..........one of these might work for you! ;) ;) ;)

Thanks,rdunk, I watched the vid and have it now...
@Armap-going to download Gimp and try it out...

Gimp is ok but I don't care for the GUI.
I like Zoner better but to each his own.

Ok Sarge, help me out; what is GUI and what is Zoner?
GUI graphicical user interface.
Zoner Studio is a cross between a graphic editor and a graphic browser.

GIMP will allow you to zoom in and is a free program. It basically does what Photoshop does but looks less polished.
Beware of endless zooming in the hope of seeing more. Once you can see each pixel (strictly speaking bit of data) zooming further doesn't show more detail it just visually increases the size of a single "dot" from the original image. So oce you zoom beyond a certain point lots of pixels on your lovely high resolution monitor are actually representing only one "pixel" from the original image and therefore you are not seeing more detail.
JPEGs lose data because the compression algorithm used to save the image disregards far too much image information that cannot be reconstructed during decompression. So when the image is decompressed missing data has to be put into the image. This effects the quality and can produce artefacts that were not in the original image.
