If a bit more documentation on this image were published along with the image such as a distance “scale” whereby one could estimate the dimensions of the land forms and the geographical coordinates of the image on Mars’ surface then the image would BEGIN to arouse my interest. But to just post an image has nothing to do with fact in itself. It could be Photoshopped or the like or indeed of something other than Mars.
If you look at near the top left of center about 11 o’clock the black streaks are inverted downward whereas the rest of the black streaks someone calls”trees” are in an “upright” position if you want to call it that. Either the “trees” in the top left of center “grove” have fallen over and the treetops are pointing at the camera or this image has nothing to do with life forms at all. For a “tree” as we know it, liquid water has to pass through phloem and xylem tubes within the trunk to nourish the photosynthetic aparatus we call leaves. Ice does not flow up cappilary tubes as does liquid water. Clearly we can see white patches indicating frost. It could be frozen carbon dioxide, otherwise known as dry ice and that is COLD. We do know Mars’ hemispheres do enjoy “seasons” however seeing liquid water on the surface has yet to appear in images, not discounting the fact that liquid water can be underground on Mars and likely is in some places. Remember also that Mars has a very thin and therefore reduced pressure atmosphere and water above the freezing point evaporates very fast if not boils at those tiny pressures.
Wrong. They are giant vulvas. The planet is in heat.

Please be specific.

Thanks for the detailed break down….
Hmmm, thanks for your comment…
This doesn’t even resemble Mars. Frankly, it looks like a close-up image of something or other.
