Lets look at the “lakes: on the red planet…
Yep! This one I posted in some long forgotten thread of mine. Don't remember where! Does Mars really look like this......
It probably does!
Cheers!

WOW, great work
So do you think your imaging can be accurate though, I mean how do you know that those colors work, in other words what I am asking is couldn't the coloration you added just be your artistic impression?

Where did you get the bigger zoom of the 'trees' at?
Also, (I am sure you said this before, so sorry) what is your opinion on the "Mars Lakes"?
Let us keep in mind that if any lakes on Mars exist they will probably be very isolated and shallow, so don’t expect to see some grand great lake looking image. They may also be geothermal or frozen. Also do you notice the same common beach features and geology? So what we have here possibly is either a liquid lake or a dry lake bed. Either way it is a huge find and would prove that Mars does or did have a complex environment in the past.
This picture is stunning to say the least, in the left side do you notice the three flat and symmetrical ‘slabs’? They lead to what again appears to be a body of water? Was this a ancient dock? Or a bridge maybe? Hard to tell, but I highly doubt the flat stones are natural, especially due to the extreme weathering that takes place on Mars. They would be weathered and jagged. So that tells me that possibly they are (were) designed and made of some strong material. Further more the image on the right is a zoomed in version, showing better detail for us.
Back to the trees…..
What we see here is some even better evidence of some tree or bush like structures on Mars. Now you could be right and they could be something growing directly on the ground or under it, but I am anxious to see explanations on these being tricks of light and shadow. At the least these are some unexplained objects on the Martian surface.

Fair enough, but there is no way to be absolutely sure. I will admit it looks compelling, I would like to see a representation of the area being sand and silica, and compare the two.

And here's another 'optical illusion'! This looks like a 'tube', but is actually flat! Nothing to see here! Move on!
If you want to color the picture to make it look like being sand and silica, please do so. As far as me concerned, the above pictures speak for themselves.

Nope! This one was not a vertical photograph at all, but an oblique one! Here are the details:
Corrected Resolution (meters) - 3.1
Altitude (km) - 217.2
Incidence Angle - 81
Emission Angle - 6
And therefore, the tower looks exactly at it should according to the angle mentioned.

Let me state that I was in no way being argumentative or disrespectful with you, nor bashing your opinion. I am simply using scientific method to deduce conclusions on the available evidence. After all we can't take everything as true and not question it or we would be more in the dark then many think we are now!
LOL, unfortunately I am very ignorant in computer imaging, so that is out of the question. But if anyone one here wants to give it a go I will help.
