The Original

When I first started posting photos of these statues, a friend of mine tipped me off to the location of this Mr. Potato Head statue in Roger Williams Park. It's taken me months, but I finally went there for this shot. It turns out that this is the original statue and is the one that was first placed in front of Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket. It now sits at the entrance to the Hasbro Playground at the Carousel Village in Roger Williams Park. Given the number of kids - and adults - that I saw climbing all over it for a photo opp, it's amazing that it's in such great shape.

Post processing started with a brilliant warm filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted the adaptive exposure, contrast, and protect highlights sliders. A slight levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Love Mr. Potato Head!
