I probably shouldn't have waited until the last day to shoot for this, but it's ok, I got something I like. I'm not sure how much the voters will like it, mainly because of that whole "recognizable object" part of the description. I will be interested to see how many people recognize this as a hair brush and comment on that fact.
I ended up using natural lighting for this shot. There were clouds out, which provided nice diffusion through the window. I also shot a few with a flash filling from the right, but I liked the extra contrast of this photo the best. The orange background is actually the wooden table the brush is sitting on.
I used a 31 and 21mm extension tubes to get nice and close. That allowed be to properly fill the frame and give this the abstract feel.
The title comes from the combination of the dominant color, and a synonym for the word brush (as in shrubbery, not this type of brush, but I like how this word works here).
