I saw a lot of dragonfly photos last year on from a couple of people on a group that were absolutely stunning. Perfectly posed, superb lighting, background in balance with subject, great shadow details, little touches of water on wings etc, etc. One shot or maybe two a year, but week after week, image after image? However, they were done they were amazing images of natures beauty.
For myself I take what I see where I see it with the equipment I have. I find that in most cases, execept for some Hawkers that never bleedin well settle, one can get pretty close, at least to within a few inches, you can also shift your position too.
To each his/her own at least they aren't yanking out the critter's genitalia to determine ID.
