~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

Hello Photography Lovers! Welcome to another curation report featuring the community HotShots! where we have compiled some of your amazing photos to show off to the world!

Please take some time to review the entire post and go check out the rest of the images of features you like. Since we only share one featured image of many from your amazing posts, some of the best images are within the rest of the posts and we don't want you to miss the beauty!

Plus, you never know when your time to get featured may come and we are sure you would enjoy the same level of community support! So, make sure to support your fellow photographers because without you all, this community would not be possible.

Now, after curating diligently and sifting through the community's posts, here are the curation selections to share with you all. Keep up the great work for your chance to be in the next round of curation!

[malos10]

@castleberry i think you did a mistake and posted the post from your account and not from @photographylovers account hahaha

[castleberry]

It's true. I used the edit draft feature for the first time to not have to switch accounts back and forth, but when i hit publish it published from my personal account instead of the community acct. I will know better for next time. That was an exciting follow up post browski! I know they enjoyed having the moments captured forever! Excellent work.

[shoemanchu]

Thank you @castleberry for the mentions, appreciate you...

[castleberry]

I liked that edited shot a lot. Some may say it was too much.... but i quite enjoyed it. You always seem to capture the action of the moments.

[extranio]

Thanks for your support. Have a good weekend

[castleberry]

Thanks for sharing some powerful shots!

[mnurhiver]

Thank you very much friends for displaying my picture here. I am quite happy to be here with all my friends. I also congratulate other friends who have appeared here with extraordinary beautiful images

[castleberry]

I don't think i have seen those mushrooms before! Happy Holidays friend.

[mnurhiver]

Yes friends, this mushroom is indeed a unique mushroom and does not grow in many places. In my area, many types of mushrooms have been growing for some time now because it is the rainy season. In the past two days the rain has not stopped and access to activities is very limited.I think after the rain, if there is a day with good sunlight, a lot of mushrooms will grow. All the best to @castleberry

[furkanmamplam]

Thank you very much @castleberry for welcoming and supporting my work, happy holidays hopefully nice

[castleberry]

Nice work on framing your compositions! Cheers my friend.

[vikar]

Thank you very much for the mention in this edition of Hot Shot. After being missed several times, finally one of my posts can be back in the ranks of other beautiful photos.

[castleberry]

You have some great macro shots! Never feel that you are missed just because you aren't featured. Keep up the great work and happy holidays friend.

[crazy-andy]

Thank you very much for the mention mate!
Appreciate it!
How are you otherwise? All good? Still running the community? I haven't been around that much anymore.
Wish you a nice holidays and all the best in upcoming year!

[castleberry]

This post was supposed to be from the community account. I tried the shared edit drafts feature for the first time and thought it would publish to the community account where the draft was originated.
I'm good and it's great to hear from you. I just had a baby boy so i know now how busy you must have been and probably still are! Try not to be a stranger! hahaha Merry Christmas too my friend.

[crazy-andy]

Wow, that is awesome to read about a baby boy!
First time is something special...
Enjoy life and wish you all the best.

[vm2904]

@castleberry Wow - just and amazing collection. The width of subjects clicked and the dazzling array of photograph after photograph of such beauty is just overwhelming. I start doubting if I will live up to the standards being set by the members of such a community. I am trying to put in my ant's share with a post once in a week or so. 😀

Thanks for this wonderful collection. You and other curators have a keen eye. We are blessed.

[josart]

Thank you very much 😍. I’ve been celebrating Christmas a lot these days. I wish you all happy holidays. Soon I will do a post thanking for so much love to hive and its people that makes it strong.
