Looks like we have the makings of a rather nice selfie from Perseverance rover. The full image set is currently being downlinked from Mars. Here's a quick and dirty mosaic roughly assembled using a selection of the available SHERLOC WATSON images.
The images were taken on July 24, 2024 (Sol 1218).

Surprised the moon conspiracy junkies aren't asking 'but WHO is taking the photo, if the rovers camera POS is in frame?!?!?!'
I don't think they've discovered this community yet LOL. But when they do I'll post this video https://youtu.be/aKNjQhIAUp0?list=PLTiv_XWHnOZqCrMU2ppcLjRn1zlDkNx3q
