    Ken:

    Nice fluffed up pose, excellent exposure. Wish the light angle had been a bit more over your right shoulder, but the head is very well illuminated, which is the most critical area. Interesting framing element provided by the perch. Might include a tiny sliver more at bottom to include a bit more of trunk.

    As posted,the bird is very centered, and might consider moving it right in the frame a bit.

    Very nice, well captured.

    I like the bird a lot, especially the head plumage.
    Very well exposed, great eye contact. Perch nicely frames the bird too.
    Agree with Randy about moving the bird from the center.

    Hey Ken, I spent many a time at lake kariba, unfortunately not with photography. I like the ruffled look, different from the norm, and nicely framed between the branches. I would maybe try and lighten the FE a tad.

    lovely shot of my favourite bird ruffling himself up Ken. I agree on the placement and might add a hint more contrast
