You may want to compare the massively blown up versions above with the original
Anyway, the image itself is, of course, yet another example of pareidolia, our ability to see patterns in random shapes. That does look like a guy hanging out on Mars, enjoying the 0.01 Earth atmospheric pressure, the 98% CO2 air, the subfreezing cold, and of course, just being four inches tall. Martians are pretty short, it seems. And patient, given its pose.

Anyway you can clearly see it on the original even when not zoomed in. I dont think it does look 4" tall either, i think it looks a good 200m away and the 'rover' was in a hightened posistion when taking the photo.
And then here is that section of the image at correct resolution

It's lots of images stiched together to give a panorama.
Well I had a bugger of a job finding it. The full image (resized) is below with the artifact circled in red. If you can't see the circle it's to the left hand side about a quarter of the way up from the bottom. For a point of scale, look at the bulk of the foreground, all taken up by the rover. This thing is minute.
And then here is that section of the image at correct resolution
And this has what to do with the price of fish?
