This view came from Curiosity's navigation cameras (these shoot only in black and white) used for mostly engineering purposes. You can clearly see her shadow and part of the arm to the bottom left. Go Curiosity!

According to the latest update, health are going well and the communication systems have been checked out (that was sol 1). Now that the mast has been deployed they are ready to start imaging the rover's surroundings with these cameras. In other news:

The team's plans for Curiosity checkout today included raising the rover's mast and continued testing of its high-gain antenna, whose pointing toward Earth will be adjusted on Sol 2. Science data were collected from Curiosity's Radiation Assessment Detector, and activities were performed with the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station instrument.
