Moved from Dragonflies.

Looks like the first female for the guide.

Celithemis bertha?
Looks a lot like the photo of a female Celithemis bertha - Red-veined Pennant - in my Dunkle field guide.

Yep
This is a female Red-veined Pennant. Note particularly that the lateral thoracic black stripes do not connect dorsally.

I cropped you image.
It helps to get an insect identified by showing the insect as large as you can. I know it cuts down on the artistic value but I think it is a good trade off in most cases. Your images are usually of high enough quality to get a close crop. Should you decide you would rather have your original image back you can click 'edit' which will bring you back to the page with the 'browse' button that you use to submit images. Click the 'browse' button again a navigate to the original image then click 'submit'. Or you could just leave a message and I will return your original image.

I like your work but I feel the cropped versions will help you get more accurate ID's faster.
