Mars Photo Art

[PaintedByTime]

I would like some comments on this please. The photograph was taken by the ESA Mars Explorer satellite and colour adjusted in Photoshop.

Is it just me or does it look like a surreal image of a nuclear weapon exploding. There is also a very strong image of a lions face in the explosion.

It really freaked me out when I saw it.

Makes me think not of mars, but a crunch bar macro shot...:)

Just looks like a peice of rusted metal to me, and you did a large amount of adjusting the levels in photoshop.

I did an amount of colour enhancement.. I think I used a gradient map for that..

Here is another one..

To everyone I have shown this they see the lions face with a cub at the bottom left. It even looks like it has been airbrushed when you view it as a smaller image.
