On this capture I used one of the effects in PS - no other treatments, no cropping. There is also the water mark - signature.
Different color, angle and light, still captured the "Expression of Beauty", Hope Y'all like my techniques in lighting and color. Lol: Gaston (aka Gasssman).

She thought by making this face it would deter me from taking her picture. What she DIDN'T realize was I look forward to my subjects doing exactly this: expressing themselves!

Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!
Moai and pukao cast down in the island's civil wars.
Platform will not be restored. Archaeological studies.
The 8 moai are now hunched in the exact position they were in when they were toppled, while the cylindrical pukaos (hair buns of the Polynesians) rolled great distances, two had to be removed from the bay.
***
After they were finished, the Moai were taken to the so-called Ahu, which were ceremonial platforms of stones that served as cemeteries for the noblest of the clan.
About 880 moai have been found on the island. 288 of these Moai are believed to have been taken and lifted on a platform. 397 moai remained in their factory (the Rano Raraku quarry) and 92 Moai were found on what would be the path between the quarry and the Tahu.
The Ahu Moai era lasted about 800 years. The intense need to always build more Moais and always bigger and more detailed, caused the overexploitation of the island's resources. Then, causing the depletion of resources in the 17th century.
Anyway, the scarcity generated fights between the clans, causing war where all Moai were overthrown. This act demoralized the "enemy" and was the greatest offense that a clan could receive. With the fall of the Moai, the Rapa Nui's devotion to their ancestors came to an end, and the power of the Ariki (king) was significantly reduced.
All of the Moais that remain on Easter Island today have been restored and replaced in that way. After the Ahu Moai era, there was no Moai left over the Ahu (platforms).
Huri Moai era:
Around 1680, the Huri Moai era began. This period was marked by the scarcity of resources and wars between the Rapa Nui clans. Thus, in this period new political and religious expressions gained strength, focusing mainly on the god Make-Make, on fertility and the power of matato’a (warrior leaders).
In order to lessen disputes, the Birdman competition was created. Eventually, through this competition, a new leader would be elected annually. Competitors needed to swim to Motu Nui Island (located right in front of Orongo) and capture the egg of the Manutara bird. The first to return to Orongo with the egg intact would be recognized as Tangata Manu, the reincarnation of the creator God Make-Make. Then, he became the island's leader for a year. Thus, the achievement of the highest rank on the island was no longer hereditary and became merit.
The most important ceremony of this cult took place in the village of Orongo, located at the top of the Rano Kau volcano.
