Hi Sagar,

The f8 shot is better but has completely lost its colours. In any event, stopping down aperture will not help overmuch as Depth of Field (DOF) is very limited in macro. The trick is to have the bits of the critter that you want in sharp focus, parallel to the film, in this case, plane of the sensor.

So, over here, you would try to position the camera, above and parallel, to the top of the dragonfly.
