This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: the bird is set in a good spot in the frame, right along the rule of thirds. the out of focus weeds in front also help to the composition by filling up the negative space.
color:vibrant and rich, great work
contrast: good, not overpowering, but enough to separate the subject from the background
focus: sharp and awesome.
depth of field: shallow depth of field was used beautifully here, sets the subject off just enough
lighting: a little bit harsh on the birds neck and head.
other: overall, a well accomplished photo of a hard to capture bird. I think what may have been your downfall is entering just another bird shot. Try looking through all past winning bird photos. They mostly depict the animals in movement, or at an interesting angle. But props on the find, its a beautiful bird. I hope to see more of your Africa Shots, your donig great so far. If you have any other questions, you are more then welcome to PM me.
