~ 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!

[abelfotografia]

Such a nice surprise to see my beloved daughter as a cover for this curation! Thanks so much! Congratulations to all my colleagues also featured!

[castleberry]

Your daughter is gorgeous and you captured that beauty very well in a dramatic way in that shot. Your series had a lot of variety and high quality creative shots in many genres but I couldn't resist featuring your amazing portrait. Her hair and the highlight in her eye really made this portrait stand out along with the dramatic lighting. Excellent work and I hope we see more shoots featuring your favorite model. =) As you probably remember... you will be getting 6% of this post's total payout for getting the HotShot Thumbnail feature. Keep up the great work my friend.

[abelfotografia]

Thanks so much my friend! Glad to have this awesome comment/review from you! ☺️🙌🙏

[tinabrezpike]

Thank u so much for choosing me, it means a lot 😊

[castleberry]

You are very welcome! You will be getting 4% of this post's total payout for getting the 1st runnerup HotShot! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the beauty with us.

[mischlen]

all of the photos are amazing!

[castleberry]

You are off to a great start! You will get 2% of this post's total payout for getting the 2nd runnerup HotShot! Keep up the great work.

[steven-patrick]

Great triple shots today! I'm glad you selected some of the portraits. There were some stunning portraits this week. I also liked the portraits by @suriclicksmedia @ersusoficial @spliddash and especially @malos10. Thanks for including my post. Sometimes my posts are more about an interesting subject than quality photography and alas that was the case this week 🙄 My kitchen is horrible for photos. The lighting is bad, all the surfaces are reflective, its just a mess.

[castleberry]

Yes, we get so many awesome portraits I don't always want to feature them as to spread around the love to all styles. But, I couldn't resist the two out of 3 Hotshot portraits. The four you mentioned also had some great portraits as well. Malos' portrait of the Husky just barely missed the top 3. hahaha Spliddash has also been doing some cool stuff lately as well. Ersus and Suriclicks always bring some great shots to the community as well.

I didn't realize I missed PI day so seeing your post was awesome! You don't have to worry about the technical stuff if you have the passion behind your posts and also if you are creative too. You usually have at least one gem in your posts and that's more than enough. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your shots here with us. Don't worry about your kitchen either... not everyone has a studio setting to capture their shots! hahaha

[phortun]

Great collection, honor to be a part of it :)

@tipu curate

[castleberry]

Thanks for the tipu! And it's good to see you a bit more active. Dad life is fun but tough! hahaha I can't remember if we are a bit ahead or behind you guys! They do grow so fast! Cheers browski

[phortun]

Fun but tough indeed haha! I cannot remember either, our Florecita is currently four and half months old :)

[litguru]

Thank you! I'm late to the party cause handling images on Hive with a phone is often an exercise in futility, though it's getting better.

Here's a shout out to the following creators who caught my eye

I love urban explorations and this one by @jane1289 is truly magnificent

@artmom shows the peaceful elegance of aquariums.

@abrunet's typewriters are so wholesome. Relics from a different era. Nice!

[castleberry]

Awesome picks as usual and it's a nightmare to try and do anything on mobile for me personally. I guess I am a tech-dinosaur like those typewriters! Cheers

[litguru]

Beyond a certain size and complexity, drafting a post with a phone is no fun, but it can be great when it's short and sweet.

[dimascastillo90]

Thanks so much for the feature, it's an honor 🙏🏻🔥

[castleberry]

Those band shots were super cool. It's always nice to see musicians in action. I grew up around musicians so I think it's something most people aren't as experienced with. Glad the band chilled a bit and got more natural in their environment. That was a good strategy you had to tell them to act as if you weren't there. It paid off! Cheers

[dimascastillo90]

I grew up around by musicians too, friends and family, this made me interested in it and I chose the guitar 😁 Thank you very much for your support and good appreciation my friend @castleberry Have a great day 📸🎸

[castleberry]

My dad played guitar and drums... and my mom played guitar and bass. So, it was a fun environment watching the band practice and having live music and practices in my house as a youngster. You can never go wrong choosing guitar! hahaha You have a great night/day too

[malos10]

Thanks you really really much for including me in this awesome selection of good photos!

[castleberry]

Those were some great portraits of the lady and that was an amazingly beautiful Husky!! You just missed the top 3. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your shots with us here in the community my friend!

[malos10]

With the dinamic i'm doing, where i photograph strangers in the streets, i'm bringing some really good portraits!! and these will keep coming!

[castleberry]

I think it's really cool to be able to shoot raw on the street like that! So far you have had some great opportunities that you have made the most of! Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers browski

[malos10]

i was afraid and shy at the beginning but i'm getting used to it!!

Cheers man!

[castleberry]

I think your shots will grow better as your confidence grows! My photojournalism teacher used to say you can hide behind the lens and be bold... even if you are a shy person. The camera gives you a reason to be able to be bold.

[fotostef]

One more double feature :)

Thank you very much!

[castleberry]

Double thank you for sharing your shots and thoughts with us here in this community! Cheers Stef!

[erikah]

I was wondering if you like any of those paintings 😃

[castleberry]

All those paintings were super cool. It was hard to pick one I liked best but I thought your photo plus the awesomeness of that painting were suited for the feature shot. =)

[shoemanchu]

Awesome posts and shot's everyone, lets keep clicking them. Thank you @castleberry @badge-696969 appreciate the features. Have a blessed weekend.

[castleberry]

That Ring-Billed Gull shot with it juggling the food in it's mouth in flight was fantastic! Hope you are having a blessed weekend too! Cheers

[avada]
