Every Day Objects

A new game begins over in the Gnurple Forums!
How it works:
-
Someone posts a macro-photo of an everyday object.
-
The subject should be a common object that most people would recognize if they saw the whole thing.
The photog should try and compose the photo so that the subject is somewhat hard to guess, but not impossible. Ideally, when its identity is revealed by a shrewd guesser or (eventually) the photographer, players should smack their heads and yell, “DOH! OF COURSE!”
Bonus points for artistic presentation.
Some alterations (e.g. photoshopping) like cropping, rotating, a little levels/curves, a little sharpening, etc. are OK as long as the final image accurately represents what was seen in the viewfinder.Hints: ask for hints if you want. The photog is free to be devious and elusive with their hints, but must not lie.
Updates: the photog should post a hint each day that the puzzle goes unanswered, and should post the solution after a week.
Each object should be posted in its own topic, with something like “Every Day Objects - Object
