Yes, it's OK. I would leave out "vivid": An example will shed more light on this issue.

There's not a really simple way to say this. An example will shed more light on the issue sounds odd. I think all you need to say is, "by way of example......" It's shorter and says the same thing. Now a really educated way of saying the same thing (if you want to sound really educated) would be " by parity of reasoning....." I read that in an appellate court case once written by an appellate Judge.

thanks.

Everything is perfect.
