Not sure which images you have in mind, but there are a couple of explanations. These images are the result of at least a few hours on the surface, so shadows will move between exposures. Secondly, this discussion took place just after the release of the first images, so they're very much a first cut.

can someone please explain why some of these images that were "put together" by individual pieces to complete a whole picture dont seem to fit in perfectly??

i mean.. im not the first to jump on conspiracy theories or anything.. nor do i think that they blocked pieces exposed to the public... but i do question the authenticity of these pics.. only because if examined properly you can see shadows and lines dont connect nearly as they should by a huge margin! at some points....
