I assume that, evolutionarily, the brown blotches on the wings were
advantageous in disrupting attention that might be focused on the
dragonfly's elongate body. Otherwise, it would more advantageous to have
completely clear wings.

The first image is, IMO better simply due to the oblique angle of it.
Excellent shot. CLEAR wings!
