Ozark Wake Robin
Rod Kissinger found a nice batch of Ozark Wake Robins in Lost Valley and showed us the spot to find them at the gathering. He even lent me his light tent since I left mine at home. Thanks on all accounts Rod, this was my first catch of this wildflower. This is a four shot focus blend.

Very nice. I can see wildflowers are a whole new discipline. I am glad I got to watch this take place! Excellent work.

Good execution on this one Tom. I like the balance of the composition. These small flowers are some of my favorites.

I've never photographed flowers in the wild except for the larger ones I find from time to time like wild iris, but these little things I did't even know existed untill Rod pointed them out. They are so small and to make one look like this is so impressive. Love the black background

Nicely done, Tom. The focus stacking capability in PS has really made macro work soooo much easier. These flowers have always been some of my favorites.

Great effort, Tom, considering the conditions. Your patience with the sun and wind paid off. I think I could see the allure of shooting these things with results like that.
