What you've got here rd is a pair of Great Blue Skimmers (Libellula vibrans). The male is above and the female below. They have or are about to mate. They are in what is called tandem. The male will take her to a place where he believes the eggs will have the best chance of survival. She will tap her abdomen on the surface of the water and deposit the eggs.
Very nice with the backlighting. Very artsy. I shoot 90% dragons and damsels for surveys around the country but shoot them so I get certain field markings for exact IDs. I posted an "artsy" shot made from a throw away shot and I really appreciated how well it was received since that's not my strong suit. Sorry, the answer is dragonfly.
