~ 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!

This edition is brought to you by @erikah. I'm happy to see so many great photographs each day. Some posts have so many good shots, it's really difficult to choose the one to be featured. Thank you for your amazing contribution and keep up the good work!

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!

[careassaktart]

Thanks for including my photo-post here, in between so many great shots, even thought I posted it 1 month ago.

[erikah]

You're welcome. I'm trying to catch up with these compilations, so there's more to come.

[careassaktart]

OK, big work is ahead of you! Good luck!!

[erikah]

Yes, it is, but worth it. Thank you.

[inmyframe]

The top 3 you chose @erikah is an absolute artistic revelation! Thanks for the mention.

[erikah]

Thank you @inmyframe, it's really difficult to choose the top 3 as we have so many good photographers and so many good photos each round, yourself included :)

[inmyframe]

I am aware of this, so I try to appreciate and argue with every such initiative. Really great job. Many of these wonderful photos would have been left out if it weren't for such combinations :)

[erikah]

I'm trying to compile the best ones for everyone to see :)

[tiptop97]

[asklanbudi]

Thank you very much, my friend, I am happy for the support you always give. Yes, I don't go back to the trash again, unless it's been cleaned. 😊

[naitreart]

I think it's cute that my three mentions are based on animals, as I enjoy taking photos of them. Thank you very much, @erikah, for your great work with these compilations. It's always a pleasure to appear here!

[erikah]

I am working with the client's material, as they say, so I feature what I get 😆

You're welcome Ronald and thank you for your amazing, high quality contribution in the community!

[naitreart]

Even so, knowing how to choose the best photos for each post has its merits, and you do that brilliantly 🤣

It's a real pleasure to share my photos with the community and have them appreciated!

[tonyz]
