These pics are unaltered.
All that was done was adjust the gamma slightly to bring out detail.
No color adjustments.
copper ore?...perhaps....but there is more than just the "green"...open your mind...many many interesting structures and features.
one other thing...I forget my Chemistry...but wouldn't copper ore that is green be oxidizing?
little free oxygen on Mars, no? Someone please correct me on this.
Maybe its something else.

it is critical that you save the images to your hard drive, then use a decent viewer to zoom in on detailed structures.
All is not what it seems...more than geological processes seem to be at work.
Adjusting the gamma can assist in bringing out detail...surprising detail at that.
soot? yes...there are many instances of venting....venting what though?
While there are many interesting things on the surface of Mars, what lies below?
The Mars Express has an instrument that can examine the composition of subterranian Mars, but the deployment of the boom has been indefinitely delayed. The reasons cited for the delayed deployment are sketchy.
I have some more pics that I will share at a later date.
In the meantime, any friends from europe who could possibly apply some pressure on the ESA, or at least contact your news outlets to apply some pressure and get them to release more images.
The longer they are witheld, the more suspicious I am that what they have already imaged will rock the world.

We used to be told that Mars was completely dry, and now we know that NASA suppressed the findings from Viking showing water ice on nearby rocks.

Please cite evidence of your assertion that light amplification is being employed.
Though much less energy reaches Mars than Earth, it is not THAT much farther away from the Sun in cosmological terms.
Now, Pluto is a different matter.
The average solar intensity at the orbit of Mars is 590 W/m2, compared with 1370 W/m2 in Earth orbit

As I recall Earth's atmosphere is 20% O2, which i would not define as being "a little".
On Mars, the level is 10-7. That's almost non-existent.
I don't think the case for "copper oxidation" can be made.
The most recent poster said it resembled vegetation, and that's the direction I'm leaning towards as well.
Here's a comparison:
Earth Venus Mars
N2 0.79 2 3 x 10-4
O2 0.20 < 0.001 10-7

But then, a funny thing happened. ESA put a clamp on the release of images, and NASA seemingly ignored the more interesting objects that the rovers encountered.
