Tricolor in Habitat

Form last Saturday in Bayou Sauvage NWR. Typically for me adult Tricolors aren't very tolerant of close approach, but this one cooperated nicely. In CS4 I dropped off the brightness of the BG a bit and dialed back the contrast for the bright sunny lighting. Almost full frame, larger image included.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8 + EC-14 Wimberley I, ISO 400 1/2000 f5 0.0EV

Looks good, Bill. I like the detail and the color appears true (which ain't that easy with a tricolor!). :toast:
