Nice catch dude. This type of dragonfly is very sensitve. Good tht you managed to get closer with your 100mm

It's always better to photograph dragonfly with it's wings tilted up. You can try clapping your hands, let it fly and wait for it to perch on the same twig, the wings are normally tilted-up when they landed and close down after couple of seconds.
