You did some good work with this lovely flower. Nice to see that the color is natural even a very coloured one like this. Mich.

You have a pretty neat foofy for Friday, Sandi. The colors is super and I love the water droplets. This is a great Christmas DT.
Good work.

Thanks Sandi for an other excellent post. Just perfect my friend.
By the way, I was frightened somewhat by some scores on your recent images. I experienced the same. My Cow-index is jumping like a small boat on high waves, from 90 to 17! Think my photographic skills aren't changed between three or four images. Suppose it's the same with your skills. A pretty long time I decided that the Cows will bother me longer. Good, constructive and straight forward comments are more important to me. Can you give the advice to do the same.
Have a great day.
Regards, Cornelius.

This is really good for handheld Tigz. You must be pretty steady. Colors are great and makes me long for spring when we are barely into winter. Great post.
