This really does give a different and almost dream like look compared to the monochrome version. Really cool. Voted

IR really works well here, David. Visionary work (both you and the Polynesians).

Absolutely awesome!!! Especially in IR. The tones on the heads really make them pop against that white back drop. ~VVV~

Impressive! The monochrome gives a rather forbidding air to the overall image, dramatic and moody. VV

And it indeed is an amazing place from what you show us from here. Those statues look very impressive, it's still a mystery to me how they could create such huge statues. Wonderful presentation, it looks excellent in B&W. V
