Two images using a 580EX II on a Delta Grip Bracket with a diffuser made from white foamy packing material.

CC appreciated regarding which is better, if there are processing goofs, etc.

Good ones- prefer#1 - #2 has some overexposure.
Why the flash though ? tend to prefer natural light for damsel/dragon/butterfl​y shots unless they are high mag shots.

Both are lovely shots. I also think #1 is slightly better than #2. I think that if you lower the highlights in post processing in #2 it would probably look very similar to #1 as its not too over exposed.
