Tricolor in Habitat

Gallery: AvianPosted February 5, 2013144 views7 comments

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!).
