Hi Folks!

This is important because if the face was proven to be artifically made,
then it indicates other advanced technologies might exist. Rick

The raw images lack contrast.

I copied the high res image and pulled it up in Photoshop, and tweaked
the RGB levels curves until I could see the image. It's all there in
detail, and to me is clearly a natural landform. Now the processed
images are out, and are very close to what I got from Photoshop.

I also compared the new image to the older image, and using selection
outlines, I was able to selectively darken areas of the new image after
the manner of the old, to see where the shadows and high points
conspired in the old images to make it look so much like a face. One
Carlotto and the others they got right: there is a node of some sort in
the area of shadow that became the right eye (on our left looking at the
image), and the node makes it look like an eyeball. The 'teeth' aren't,
and the whole thing is just a worn down mesa or thrust-block or whatever
- you know what I mean if you actually know your geology.

Too bad, I really wanted it to be artificial.
