~ 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!

[terresco]

Thank you for the mention

[castleberry]

Thank you for your beautiful contribution!

[katerinaramm]

Thank you so much for including me and for choosing one of my ever-favorite shots!!!!
I am always grateful, photography is one of my greatest loves and being among hive's best is for me a motive to keep going and to keep learning!
!BEER

[castleberry]

You had some cool shots but that cat on the run caught my eye! Keep up the great work and it's awesome to hear you are motivated and inspired by being an active member of this community! Cheers

[runwayshutter]

Best feeling of being picked with 2 shots.Thanks🥳

[castleberry]

Thanks for sharing! The cat was super cool to see.

[goga22]

Congratulations to all selected authors on their excellent photographs.

[castleberry]

Which shot did you like the most? I noticed you had commented on many of the posts!

[goga22]

When I have time, I review all the posts one by one, opening the posts that seem really good to me based on the title and cover photo. I comment on those posts, which I like the most, and I base my selection primarily on the quality of the photos, which is important and what should be important. Since I'm still learning to be here, I ask for clarification, or for rules if there are any on how and how much to comment. If my comments are too many, please point it out to me, because I don't want to break certain rules dear @castleberry
As for the question of which post I like the most, it's definitely "More Light painting" and I know I commented on it because I simply adore long exposure.

[castleberry]

I think you have an excellent workflow for how to be successful on Hive. Commenting is one of the best ways to grow and connect with people and their content here. It's also one of the best ways to get a larger audience for your own posts as well. I think it would be difficult to comment too much so long as it's genuine comments. You have nothing to worry about and we need to make a rule for everyone to comment more... not less! hahaha

[goga22]

Uhhhhhh, I already thought I did something wrong again. I feel better now, thank you @castleberry

[tiptop97]

With your support and the support of the community, I will continue in the same spirit and promise to try my best and not let you down )

[darrenflinders]

Congratulations to all involved and thanks for featuring my shots too, I really appreciate it, as always :-)

[castleberry]

Your 'Connection with Nature' featured shot was my favorite image focused on color! There is always quite the range of styles and subjects here in the community each round of curation. Thank you for your contributions and keep up the great work! Which image did you enjoy the most?
