    Default A Black Cat just crossed my path!

    Our near 3 yr old Black leopardess Giza hurdles across the Ewaso Narok river in Kenya's Laikipia district.

    It's so special just to see a spotted Leopard leap across a river let alone a rare melanistic feline such as her, what a morning!

    Bean bag front pax seat, curves, levels in ACR/PS '23.

    Hello Marc,

    A very exciting sighting for you I am sure, and such a special moment captured.

    I like the 'small in the frame' here, great to see the landscape, nicely framed, perfect timing. The leopard's leap is so gracious

    Just one observation... I personally feel the greens and blues are too saturated. And a kind reminder that you can post 1920px wide if you like, but it's entirely up to you

    Thank you so much for sharing,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    ,
    The saturation is unchanged, straight out of the Z9, and gets it pretty much spot on most times, I only add a small amount of vibrance and very happy with as presented, can be very subjective of course.
    And yes, very aware of the 1920px width, but find 1400 is perfect otherwise you're left having to annoyingly scroll across on any laptop.
