to best view the 3-D images' effect you must wait a few seconds to help your eyes find their right focus

Here is just a few links where myself and others uplinked our processed versions of Mars color rover images that were developed from the JPL raw images site - Mars Exploratory Rover that’s located at  http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/ These sites have blog type comments on what we think we are seeing. I personally processed and sharpened over 3,000 color images which also include some panoramic views.

How could you possibly have left www.marsunearthed.com out of your 3D listings? It's the best I have ever seen.
