Case statement with picklist expression giving error

In the following case, the field CalendarAvailability__c is a picklist field and Closed, Tenative, & Open are the fields values. I'm trying to have an image displayed in a formula field based on the value of that field but am receiving the following error on save:

 

Error: Syntax error. Missing ')'

 

 But as far as I can tell my Case statement seems to be formatted properly ... what am I missing ...?

 

 

CASE
(
CalendarAvailability__c,
'Closed',
IMAGE('/img/samples/color_red.gif', 'Closed' [, 25, 100]),
'Tenative',
IMAGE('/img/samples/color_yellow.gif', 'Tenative' [, 25, 100]),
'Open',
IMAGE('/img/samples/color_green.gif', 'Open' [, 25, 100]),
' '
)

Those bracket things are just doc artifacts to indicate that those parameters are optional.  You shouldn't actually put them in your formula.  This should work then:

 

CASE
(
    CalendarAvailability__c,
    'Closed',
    IMAGE('/img/samples/color_red.gif', 'Closed' , 25, 100),
    'Tenative',
    IMAGE('/img/samples/color_yellow.gif', 'Tenative' , 25, 100),
    'Open',
    IMAGE('/img/samples/color_green.gif', 'Open' , 25, 100),
    ' '
)
