Hi Fernando

Yes, it is a one-touch zoom; I believe that it is easier to carry than 
the 85-250, which I think is a little bigger – and has the tripod 
collar.

There is a blue cast to the leaves, but I like to think that it is from 
the cool evening light.  However, I have done a little work with the 
neutral wand in iCorrect and the result is now at:
