The wings have beautiful colours!
What are these 4 white "tentacles" coming out of the old larva-shell?

I'm not sure. It may be breathing system - it also moults. It may be some kind of bound between old "skin" and young imago.

Great capture! I'm still waiting to get something like this. I can imagine it must have been quite tricky to take that picture (and I'd certainly have dipped my pants into the water, only paying attention to the dragonfly

As said - the problem lied in the fact that it was just over wtaer-table of river. I had nothin (river) to the left and very steep and very high coast with bushes, branches and roots to the right. Very interesting place - there a colony of sand martins nearby and also a nest of kingfisher.

Have you managed to get captures of the kingfisher as well?
I can imagine the situation, been in similar ones way too often. I fear the day I slip and drown my poor camera...

No I didn't they are very shy, but maybe this summer I'll try to catch one.
