 Real simple photo. I like the contrasting colors and simplicity of the photo. Not a superb shot but I think it's okay.

Basic adjustments:

Thanks for the contructive comments on how to improve. Appreciate the motivation!

You are like a big vat full of creative juices! This was so close - it's only the darn basic editing that let you down. It looks simply amazing in thumbnail. You got a 9 from me. I will be looking forward to your future entries!

A really nice idea - a bit more uniformity between the silk and the brush would have improved it, but a well-taken shot nevertheless.

nice concept don't know if brush would look better where it is at or on top

nice idea. a dab of blue on the brush might've completed the effect.

This is a really neat idea, I like how you set it up - the colors seem a bit harshly saturated to my eyes, though, which keeps me from wanting to look at it for very long. Great creative image, nonetheless - 7.

Great concept of the theme. I find it refreshing to see a more conceptual version rather than the literal.

The transition from silk to brush looks a bit funny but this is by far the most creative entry.

nice contrast of colors, but it think the tint of orange may be a bit much.

This is a great concept for this challenge. Unfortunately, basic editing makes it very difficult to pull off. 6 for your effort and nice lines, though.

Creative. If you could have gotten blue paint on the brush blending into blue silk it would be really hot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Really nice idea! Red might be a little too sat perhaps... at least on my monitor... and I might have put the brush on top of the silk and dipped it in blue paint.
