 I am sure lots of other people have tried this (lame, yeah I know) joke too and probably much better than this. But still... since I am not that good in post-editing, the mythical creatures where out of the question so it was either potatoes or nothing.

I first wanted to make some sort of army-hospital setting with potatoes dressed up as surgeons and nurses and call it "M*A*S*H potatoes", but I figured that would be just as lame and a lot more work. So this is what I chose, my first try with a completely white background. It´s just a sheet of white paper on my garden chair, hence the shadow etc. I know it´s not that good and crispy as others can do it, and the DoF is off (still struggling with that on my new camera) but it was fun to do, my husband scorned me but my daughter had a laughing fit and is now running around the neighborhood to show the potato (with the jacket I stole from here doll) to all her friends. So at least this picture made one person happy...

Did you actually make that jacket? Wonder what would make you think of pink! Nice shot. 7

LOL....a really cute interpretation! The bottom of the jacket is a bit blown out but, it's really cute 7
