~ 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!

Comments

[godfish]

Oh, I am flattered! But let's be honest, it was about the angels, and not about the shots! ;)

[castleberry]

I bet those are tough to shoot with those lit up wings and the dark of night to fight in the settings. I thought they were cool looking!

[godfish]

Well, these were just mobile snapshots, I only clicked the button :))

[jlinaresp]

Wow!... "Today's Featured HotShot" for my shot!!!... THANKS a lot @castleberry friend!!!! ;) I feel very honored! A big appaluse to all my photographer colleagues here at this #hotshots selection!!!! ;)

!PIZZA

[castleberry]

That shot was epic! You deserved the top HotShot spot and will be getting 6% of this post's total payout. Keep up the great work and stay motivated my friend. Cheers

[darrenflinders]

Excellent selection of shots 😊

[castleberry]

This was a fantastic round of curation! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Looking forward to seeing more of your shots too!

[steven-patrick]

Congrats to the tripleshots 👍 great shot of the mountains above the clouds AND jungle below. Excellent lighting in 2nd shot, I always struggle with good lighting. And shout out to my squirrelly buddy @sketch.and.jam Nice squirrel portrait... now if you can just get the model in front of a makeup mirror to up the lighting 😆

[castleberry]

This round was extremely difficult to choose. I couldn't resist the layers of interest when it came to the mountains, clouds, and jungle all in one. Snow on stumps is one of my favorite things to look at when walking out in the Winter around here. I loved the roots on that featured image!

[victorbz]

thank you for the double feature !

[castleberry]

You are Double Welcome! hahaha

[r3v3nan7]

Thank you very much.

[castleberry]

That Helios lens does magic! Cheers

[r3v3nan7]

Thanks. I really like this lens. With them when I press the button, I never know what kind of image will go. Like a magic. It is so fun and often so amazing results :)

[mnurhiver]

Thank you very much for featuring my image in this post.I also congratulate my friends who have been selected.

[castleberry]

Cool shrooms!

[ridor5301]

Thank you very much for the Mention and my flower was chosen as one of the best and thank you very much for your support.

[castleberry]

Definitely some interesting flowers! Cheers

[macchiata]

The thumbnail looks pretty! I thought it was the today's hotshot 😆

[hanturimba01]

Got that gamba jih🥰🥰🥰

[castleberry]

I thought it was too! hahaha
🙃

[shoemanchu]

Thank you Brother @castleberry appreciate the highlights and features of my work. Have a blessed weekend.

[castleberry]

You are very welcome! Even though your camera crapped out... you have shared some awesome edits! Keep up the great work and hopefully you get some new equipment soon! Cheers

[naitreart]

Thank you very much for the mention dear friend @castleberry, more on choosing that picture, it's one of my favorites without a doubt, a very close shot, but it's always good to try different things. Excellent selection as always, happy Friday my friend!

[castleberry]

That was a really good shot! My favorite of the set for sure. Keep up the great work and stay creative. Cheers

[nanixxx]

Hello, thank you very much 😊, a very big hug from Havana in winter.

[castleberry]

You are very welcome my friend. Big Hug from Sweden in Winter!

[brunettedev]

It's a honor to me be part of this great selection, more because I'm newbie in the hive ecosystem. Thanks for to including me and I wait be part of other more. I really appreciate that. Love it <3

[castleberry]

We usually don't curate single image posts but that shot was spectacular and moody. Keep up the great work but I would suggest 2 or more images in a post to increase your chances of curation. Cheers

[harveyword]

Thank you for including me in the selection - quite proud

[castleberry]

Almost everytime you have more than one shot you get included. You have some great shots! I thought that guy in the speedos was a nice modern contrast to the old structure. hahaha

[pandaradvanture]

Thank you for including me in this election. It's an honor

[castleberry]

Spiderwebs always fascinate! The details of the surroundings were cool looking as well. Keep up the great work.
