Found a potato that was a candidate for e-bay.
Any bids?
Needed some way to present the heart-shaped potato. Tried a color shot with Mr. Potato Head but colors were too cartoonish and there was too much free space. Was going to do American Gothic for our historical society with a couple of members. Then, I thought it was a better way to mimic thetoos. And after all, it was TIm that showed me how to set up a still life and light it with a cord and flash. I applied the technique here.
Also, got to try out the bells and whistles of the new D50. (I am loving it more and more every day.)
Very little post processing.

Mister is entirely too pleased with himself, I think, but I suppose Playskool didn't have a grim-set mouth :) Very entertaining - this truly didn't deserve such a poor score.
Very scary. I think I liked you better when you just went around and decorated the Hostas with your magic marker. (Didn't your doctor take away all your sharp instruments?) It is, however, a very nice exposure.
Oh shucks, you got one of the first yohorns. I'm just jealous. T
Not going to vote on this, since it's not fair for me to "cherry pick" (or is that "potato peel"?) this late in the voting but this is great! I hope this does well. In fact, I think this will be the first recipient of my new "shoehorn award" for humorous and slightly off kilter entries.
Collect the whole set! Put it on your profile page! Trade em' with your friends! (Hey, everyone else has their own special award, why not me?)
Good idea and lovely composition although I would have preferred the colour version but that may be because Mr Potato Head is such a colourful guy. ;] I have something to say about his wife but I rather not here. PM me if you want to know what it is.
