I like the lowly ajuga. It has beautiful candlestick-like purple flowers over a consistent, dark-leaved, low growing base. I "painted" it a bit to give it some depth and played with color/b&w.
I like the deep tones and the lighting that brings out the blue against the greens.

What an interesting perspective -- are you standing over the bush? Looking down? I like the depth you created with the shadows.

GUESS WHAT ??? We're get-pushed partners this week. Would have been hilarious if we had been paired up in two more weeks, but let's do it now! :)

I'm going to recycle a challenge since my challenge partner last week is a teacher, and this seems to be the perfect closure for an end-of-the-school-year challenge. What inspires you to be a teacher? How can you capture an image that portrays your feelings for what drives you to work hard to do your job well? And maybe this even leads into the question, "What compels you to give up two weeks of your summer vacation to take 20 teenagers to Japan so you can continue to teach during your time off?"

@jyokota Yes, I'm standing over the flowers - ajuga is groundcover, and the flower spikes come about 6 inches off the ground.

I was wondering when we'd get partnered! I'm pretty sure we'll be pushing each other for the 2 weeks in Japan! No worries there - but for your official challenge for the week, and in line with your challenge to me, I'd like you to capture an image (or images) that portray(s) the time you've spent in Germany these past couple of months. Specifically, I'd like you for focus on the emotional side. If you've got the technology - a diptych or triptych might work too!
