Much as I like Black & White, the colour versions win this time.
There is just something in the browns

IMHO it is the green in the 2nd image that makes it special.

Thank you all for your excellent feedback.

Dragonflies are fairly easy to shoot, a warm bright day us ideal with little or no breeze. Watch them for a while and they pretty much return to the same spot and hover for a second or 2, enough time to pull the trigger.

Leave enough room to crop a little and allow or random movement.

1/2000 sec to freeze wing movement, 1/1600 sec to get movement in the wings, lens wide open and adjust the iso to suit.
Easy for you to say, Sometimes I can't even get trees to look like they are standing still 😃

Great set.
The dramatic sky is well suited to the subject
