Hi Craig, It is perhaps the most classic view from Easter Island, it reminds me a big morel (mushroom). The details of the carving are nicely shown here indeed. It is funny for me that people in Canada or Australia are not using the International System of Units. "he's about 15 feet" -I do not imagine how much it is.
15 feet = 4.5 m. Much taller!

Bravo, un altro bellissimo scatto, che conferma la tua passione e la tua voglia di coronare il tuo sogno.

Hi Craig
iconic Easter Island shot this and captured superbly with perfect light and POV that emphasises its height, presence and beauty. Glorious texturing and the statue stands out so beautifully against the green and blue of earth and sky. Awesome!


Enjoy your weekend - Brian.

Hello Craig,
I like the simple elegance of this shot. The green and blue of the grass and sky are the perfect compliments to Mr. Moai and his shadow. I was channel surfing the other day, and a travel show about Easter Island popped up! It was interesting to get more info on the culture and history. It's definitely a fascinating place.

Hi Craig,

A nice blue sky backdrop and the enigmatic statue is perfectly positioned on the vertical 1/3 axis to comply withe the golden mean. Good sharpness and superb graphism. Excellent textural details in the pitted, volcanic stone. Tfs!

Hello Craig,
The remoteness of Easter Island and the many questions raised by the Moai and the culture that has produced them have made pictures of these statues always very attractive to me.
This photo shows beautifully the weatherworn statue in the abandoned area.
I was wondering how many Moai are there on the island ...
Best regards, Paul

Hello Craig
You hope that we like it? I love it. As you the statues of Easter Islands have had a magical spell on me since I first heard of them as a little boy. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity yet to visit.
Love the framing and the way we look together with the head over the lovely landscape. Love the shadow as well.
I just never realized that the Easter Islands where so green.
have a good sunday
Daniel

Hi Craig,
Another very effective capture of this lone statue against the green hill and blue sky !
I like the very neat profile of the huge head and its elongated shadow on the grass.
Great contrast between the dark statue and the bright landscape in the background.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Marie-Louise.

Hi, my friend Craig,
yes, in this sharp image we can admire the details of the carved stone in the Moai, caught by means of an efficient close-up.
I like the good light, the shade of the Moai on the grass, and its beautiful contrast with the blue sky.
A great composition, skilfully executed.
Best regards,
Josep
