Great capture of the dragonflies head. I've tried this angle on a dragonfly eating too, and it does not work great. Maybe a lower angle, giving same distance to prey and the dragonfles nearest eye would work.
Or a manual stack of two pictures. But often it is a good idea to take some pictures further away from the subject. You lose magnification, but gain overall detail
This is a species we do not have here up further north, and I've never seen it. Think I need to visit southern Europe some day for a dragonfly trip.
It's an Orthetrum albistylum (White-tailed Skimmer), but I'm not sure if it's a male or female. If you have a picture from further away, you'll see that this species has white appendages at the end of the abdomen. I recognized it due to the two white bands and the black on the side of the thorax, and the pale stripe on top of thorax. In Africa, there a tons of Orthetrum, which are near to impossible to ID.
