I love taking photos of insects and have been known to chase dragonflies or butterflies. If there is cloud cover or a bit of shade, the photos are much richer in color than those in the sun. The first photo was taken today in the bright sun. The dragonfly lacks the detail that I like.
The next photo was taken in June of this year under softer light. The colors in the dragonfly are much richer and I can see the detail in the wings a lot better.

Nicely shown Nora – love that second image especially because of the softly lit foliage behind the dragonfly, which is also as you say much more detailed. All about the light indeed!
Thanks Tina!
