Mars' Face Seems to Have Windows

NASA recently released some new super-hi-res pictures of the famous face on Mars. Some people are saying they now see windows and beams and stuff that indicates that yes, it is an artificial structure. I don't think it's very convincing, as the only reason people are looking at it because the first shoddy images made it look like a face; yet the second set of hi-res images shows it to obviously not be a face, or at least anything we can recognize as a face. This just seems to show that there are pits and grooves in the rocks, which is distinctly possible - just look in southern Utah , such as arches national park, tons of weird rock formations - totally natural. Article also discusses a lot of the theological issues to discovering artificial structures on Mars, but that seems not to be relevant if the face isn't artificial.
