[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A sculpture at the H.R. Giger Museum in Gruyére. Giger is responsible for the concept and design of the creature appearing in the "Alien" film series. This strange and disturbing museum features his artwork, which is filled with images of complex, starkly colored and alien landscapes and beings, with a lot of satanism, sado-masochism penetration imagery. The location of this museum, right in the midst of the quaint medieval town of Gruyére, makes it seem even more bizarre.

Great portrait of "Alien". Very interesting, but maybe a bit scary. Good details and lighting. Well done my friend & TFS :]

Hello Sandy,
You shot this in colour, but it looks like selenium toned black and white.
Good lighting and tonal range, I like the tight crop too.
Well seen,
Peter.

Giger is a genius! ;)
well captured!
