Hello Craig,
Seeing this I get a feeling that most of the time we see the Moai from up front so that we can all admire their faces. Here you have changed the perspective to let us anjoy the view of the grasslands and the horizon along with the Moai. I suddenly realize that's what they're doing. Maybe everybody else knew that all the time. I didn't.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Craig, it seemed to me that I saw all the Moai on the Easter island, I spent there 6 days, but I do not remember these two. Where could they be? For me also, Easter island is my favorite magical place, along with Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza.

have a nice Sunday

Hello Craig,

This shot gives a much mellower, friendlier view of the island. The heads are looking out across an open expanse of greenery to the sea, and the future. It is a timeless scene.
I love the composition, the heads so well placed and the sea more inferred than specified. Excellent sharpness and a good use of the shadows.

Have a great Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hello Craig
I can easily understand why you are tempted to post this one, it is superb. The two statues, so iconic for the easter islands, looking over the wide open landscape towards the distant sea is brilliant.
Still the easter island are on my personal bucket list as well but alas they are quite out of the way I must say.
have a great sunday
Daniel

Hello Craig,
A cleverly constructed composition with the two stone figures well placed in the frame and showing how they relate to the landscape. I like also that we catch a glimpse of the surrounding ocean. Very good technical presentation as ever.

Hi Craig
A simple, almost minimalist shot, with the famous stone-heads well placed in the frame. Their strong shadows and the well rendered sky make this a quite powerful shot. I like the (possibly deliberat?) thin strip of sea, absolutely essential in this shot.
BTW, a former prime minister of Australia, Malcolm Fraser, was said to have the appearance of one of these!
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Craig - These heads are so iconic; to me they seem to have been looking forward to the future since they were first erected. Here the composition underlines that thought; they stare out benignly making no comment and passing no judgement. Somehow they seem to join past, present and future and although the landscape seems vast they have such presence within it. I can understand why Easter Island is your favourite destination. Beautiful rich colours and a simple but striking composition. Warm regards Rosemary

Hello dear Craig,
Nice capture from Easter sland. Good pov and good layout.

TFS and best regards

Hello Craig,
this picture is wonderful, suggestive and really touching. Your point of view is excellent allowing us to observe the lonely, imposing and mysterious heads rooted for so many centuries on this ground and at the same time share their own vast and fixed point of view. I like very much how they are connected through the shadow and how they irresistibly guide us to follow their glance. The light, the colours and the textures are natural and very beautiful, there's a suggestive stillness and calmness in the atmosphere. I also like how the narrow strip of blue between land and sky evokes the immense vastness of the ocean that separates this place from the rest of the world. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great Sunday,
Ourania
