Just love it when a somebody out to discredit makes a mistake by uploading the same evidence.
Concerning your lower image.
Your image is much lower resolution than the partial.
****" You have to zoom in to see the astronaut or suit on your frame, it is just to the upper left of the second down uppermost visible lens etched
cross marking at the right of the frame but is clearly still visible."****
Cleverly yours is so low resolution when downloaded and zoomed in the artefact is so pixelated as to be near indistinguishable, You are doing a good
job here, give your boss a pat on the back from me, it is easier and more effective to discredit by saying "Oh yeah I see face's in the cloud's all
the time" or "Hmm look's like rocks to me", the more you go to extremes the more transparent the attempt becomes, the same as if somebody is wrong and
they try to stand there ground they eventually fall in to the hole they dig.
as for the upper image it's called airbrushing or colloquially touching up the image for public release, yours is the catalogue image whilst the other
is the expedition frame and they are both from NASA.
Some comments from the original page, I knew that someone would silence them so downloaded the entire site and have it archived.
Excerpts from the original page that no longer exists.
Trouble at Geology Station 6
We have concluded that the object in the photograph (roughly four times the size of an Asian Elephant) is not a boulder or a rock, and for that matter
its formation had nothing to do with any natural process. It is, in fact, a piece of machinery which has experienced prolonged exposure to the
elements and now exists in a state of advancing deterioration. It sits where it stopped moving long ago and is slowly turning to dust. As with many
Apollo photographs the evidence indicates this image has been altered.
The view of the artifact is roughly from the north. This side would experience to a lesser degree the deteriorating effects of essentially unfiltered
solar radiation. A perspective view of the south side of "Tracy’s Rock" is never accurately shown. We will speculate that photographs of the south
and down slope images of Tracy’s Rock would, among other things, likely show the two right side legs fallen away and laying on the ground along with
other revealing mechanical features including, possibly a view of the ‘guts’ of the rear section. Based on photographic procedures executed by
U.S. astronauts we are confident that accurate perspective images of the south side of "Tracy’s Rock" do exist and have been withheld.
A panorama of lunar history is captured in this view looking south over the Valley of Taurus Littrow. A huge fragmented boulder had rolled almost a
mile down the side of the North Massif to here, Station 6 on our traverse (see here). Our LM and its light area of surface alteration can be seen on
the photo about an inch to the right of the top point of the boulder. That's me at the left. Note the marks of my sampling scoop on the debris resting
on a slanting surface of the boulder at left. Gene Cernan took the photos from which this mosaic was assembled." The preceding caption was written by
Harrison Schmitt. (Labeling of the background Taurus Littrow Valley features has been added. The South Massif seen in the right background is about 5
miles away. (Image courtesy of NASA– labeling added)
Although the above digitized mosaic from "Apollo Expeditions to the Moon" consisting of the two frames is of low resolution (62.7 KB) major
differences between it and all other available revisions can be discerned. Those frames were AS17-140-21497 – described in the Lunar Surface
Journals as- "Station 6 pan (north). Jack, Tracy's Rock, talus sample site, East Massif, Bear Mountain. (Left) & AS17-140-21494 Station 6 pan (north).
LRV, South Massif, TGE, Henry, Bear Mountain or similar (right).
1- Coloration- (Magazine 140 was color) the pale green appearance of the above frame differs significantly from the labeled frame-21496HR & other
revisions. This may be the most accurate color rendition of the Taurus Littrow Valley the public has been allowed to see. The color issue will be
later discussed.
Shell Game
According to comments in the Apollo 17 Lunar Surface Journal mission planners had allowed up to 45 minutes for Geology Station 6 activities.
Officially there was only one Station 6 Boulder which was purportedly comprised of five ‘Fragments.’ To conceal the absence of down slope and rear
photos of Tracy’s Rock at least two other (different) ‘boulder groups’ were misleadingly substituted.
Above) Catalog frame AS17-146-22293 - Not listed on Planimetric Map- showing another view purportedly of the Geology Station 6 ‘Boulder.’ Harrison
Schmitt is in the center of the frame. The general shape and size of this apparently rear view of ‘Fragment 2’ of Tracy’s Rock does not seem to
conform with either the front / upslope view (North Panoramic) or the South Pan frames. (For a higher resolution version of the above scene which has
the Rover somewhat obstructing the view click here) The shadow being cast from the rear/ left side of ‘Fragment 2’ is inconsistent with the shadow
being cast as seen in consecutive frames in the upslope views as shown in the partial of AS17-140-21493HR below. The shadow cast by ‘Fragment 4’
is inconsistent with the direction of the shadow being cast by ‘Fragment 4’ as seen in the South Pan and the Labeled Detail above. Also the shape
of ‘Fragment 3’ is inconsistent with that which is seen in the above frames as well as being highly suspect as a natural formation. (Images

I am not going to upload there other image's if you are truly interested look into it yourself,
One caveat, I called the image the catalogue image (I was Wrong) it is the EXPEDITION FRAME.

As for tracys rock that image was used in comparison to the expedition frame and they also noted the different colouration of the lunar landscape
behind in the distance were the minerals on the surface created a greenish tinge.
