I'm having trouble understanding what I'm seeing. Is the rover super close to a rock that's filling up the bottom right portion of the frame?

It's on the side of a butte to the north of the rover, see attached screen shot assembled from the navigation camera images acquired on the same sol, I've circled the target rock
