Repulsive

For my Repulsive picture i took a picture of a thistle because thistles are ugly and painful but at the same time the leaves on the plant have a really cool pattern. Also i used the iso setting on my camera to focus on one of the leaves which blured out the rest of the plant and the background. I also used the color balance technique and the dodge tool to darken some of the shadows and the sponge tool to enhance the green in the leaves.
