Evidently I was mistaken in believing that you would have good grace and courtesy to overlook this minor detail

Awesome shots, I'd be extremely proud of any one of those.
All the gear with no idea

Wonderful, Chris. Great colour, detail and devoid of the blown, highlights resulting from the combination of water and sunlight that often blight pictures of this type
I have watched and photographed dragonflies engaged in similar activity, but rarely with the degree of success seen here

All captured using an handheld K5 with SMC Pentax-FA* 200mm F2.8 ED [IF] and Kenko Teleplus 1.4X PZ-AF MC4 DG TC. From camera JPEGs with NR and levels-adjustment but no additional sharpening.
C&C welcome.
