I saw the pillars in the bottom right corner also; but they reminded me more of the horses head nebula. I liked your drawing though.

On the lite side. If you look there is another formation that looks like a face above makc's little guy. Like finding faces in the clouds.

There are also three pillars to the left side of the image that appear to be stacked pointing toward the right side of the image. The farthest left image looks like Mary, with halo, holding a baby. The farthest right of the three looks like Mary, with halo, and Joseph, standing together, looking down toward a manger. Imagery is what you make of it.

I've been looking all over it, but couldn't find it. Would you like to outline it for me?

I seem to see group of people from BMAONE23 post.

I'D love to outline it but I don't really know how. It's between the two black areas. Looks like the whole bust of a man. My highlighter button doesn't seem to work.
