An African Darter adopting its standard pose on a dead tree in Lake Kariba ( the edges of Lake Kariba are dotted with thousands of drowned trees). Taken whilst staying at Rhino Island Camp, Matusadona, Zimbabwe 22nd June, 2010. EOS 1D MkIV 500mm F4 IS hand-held F8, ISO 800, 1/1600, EV +0.33
The pose looks good and the perch adds interest. The light angle is not ideal and I find the bird a bit tight in the frame.
I agree with Axel on his comments. The head looks a bit soft to me.

Axel nicked the critique, for me, the sun angle is what really could have made this one much better. TFS.
Thanks for the comments although it looks better in TIFF, I think I am guilty of trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.
