Doubts raised over alleged 'Bigfoot' spotted on Google Earth

The image of an alleged Bigfoot found on Google's satellite mapping service has been dividing opinion this week.
The snapshot, which was originally posted up on Reddit, appears to show a large humanoid figure walking around in the Colorado wilderness, but despite claims that it represents evidence of Bigfoot, doubts have been cast over whether this is even a picture of a creature at all.

"Is it a bear? A puddle? A hiker without gear?" the original caption reads. "Impossible to say for certain but the darker areas of the subject align with the shadows of other objects nearby."

"Measures around 7-7.5 feet. Appears hunched over. Subject does not appear on other satellite images from different years which might imply that subject is mobile or not stationary object."

The precise co-ordinates are believed to be 38°16'24" N. 108°08'32.
But is this really a Bigfoot or is something else going on ?

Perhaps the biggest issue with this picture is that, considering that it has been taken from directly above, the angle seems to be wrong - how is it that we can see it's supposed feet and arms ?

Also, if this was an animal, it would be enormous - much larger than 7.5ft. An individual person will typically appear as little more than a small blurry dot on Google Maps.

In all likelihood, this is simply a body of water that just happens to resemble the shape of a Bigfoot.
