~ 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!

Hello @castleberry friend!... I send big hug to you and thanks a lot for present one of my photos here today in this #hotshots selection!... Awww... the "Today's Featured Hotshot" by our talented @nanixxx friend... Impressive, isn't it? 🙏... And the other two photos, those of @anitahorvatirl and @sandormb friends, are also supreme postcards of light and impressive technique. I remember having seen them during my everyday tour through #photographyLovers and being ecstatic with them... You've come back with all the irons and your ability to select the best photos is, as always, at 100%!... Thank you very much for being here!...

And a big round of applause to all of our talented photographers here at #PhotographyLovers

👏👏👏

!PIZZA

Thank you for the high praise. Selecting the shots is far easier than capturing them, so my hat goes off to those who take such amazing photographs! Those top 3 from this round were/are spectacular. Your shots were also pretty amazing. The personality shining through the face of that dog in your featured image is priceless. It's good to be back. Hopefully, i can keep up the momentum. I hate missing any content or time here in the community. Cheers my friend!

This comment is the most beautiful thing I have read this weak 🙏😍

Sending a hug and applause again to you, talented @anitahorvatirl friend!

👏👏👏

Thank you so much for your support 🙏😍

Those really were some incredible shots in your post. It's always good to see you posting. Hopefully, you will get a chance to share more frequently soon. I know all too well how busy life can get!

Lately, I have guests constantly from Croatia. Well, I didn't have that much time. Unfortunately.. Now the school year starts in a few days, so I'll have too much time

Hopefully, you enjoyed the time with your guests... and getting ready for school is something that i will have to learn to get used to myself. hahaha

Hahaha good luck with that. My little one is a troublemaker 😂

It's an honor to be included in this collection of such wonderful photographs. Thank you!

It's our honor to have you posting in this community and sharing your awesome shots with us all! Welcome to Hive and to the Photography Lovers Community! To help support your success and to help you from making any mistakes here on the platform... i wanted to share two posts i made to help newer users do well here on Hive.

Please check those out when you get some time and make sure NOT to do the things in there it warns against doing. I think this will increase your chances of support moving forward and accelerate your growth as well!

Thank you for sharing

Oh it has been ages since I was last mentioned in one of these posts. (Due to my own lack of posting.) It was such a nice breather to scroll through all of the incredible posts and photographs. Thank you so much for making yet another one of these!

I had been out of action for a while myself... so don't feel too bad. It's always a pleasure to see your shots and read your thoughts. Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to share your sentiment here. I hope your lady and you are doing well! Cheers

Excellent selection of photographs, i loved how the hotshots were all about sky!

I felt bad for not picking one of the nature shots in the last round. I try to balance out the genres from HotShot post to post... but it's so tough and we always have amazing shots in all genres every round of curation. I never mind this impossible challenge. hahahha Thanks for sharing your awesome shots with us too.

Thank you so much dear @castleberry for choosing us, congratulations to everyone on the excellent photos

You are more than welcome! I always look forward to seeing what you share! Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much. Oh, the cloud is right there on the cover… I’m blushing. 😊

Your post was amazing. You really have a way with words and cameras! I loved your cover image to that post but i couldn't resist this featured photo for our top HotShot spot! You will be getting 6% of this post's total payout. Glad to see your shots here in this community. Keep up the excellent work my friend.

Thank you for recognizing my humble work. I'm truly happy to know that you think this way. It gives me great encouragement to continue refining my approach.

Thank you, @castleberry, friend.

Always happy to help encourage! It's been fun to see your growth and development since you started here on Hive and it's always a pleasure to see your content. Cheers

Wow, that skycloudexplosion that nanixxx captured 😶 Breathtakind and so beautiful!

It was almost like that cloud was just taking that rainbow for a ride! hahaha

A wonderful compilation as always dear friend @castleberry, and thank you for the mention. Excellent photographs from all of my colleagues!

Thanks! This was a nice round of curation. There is never a lack of interesting and beautiful content here in the community. Thank you for your contribution, my friend. Cheers

Congratulations to everyone, what a beautiful compilation. Thankyou dear @castleberry. 💖🙃💜

This compilation was beautiful. Thanks for your contribution! I thought your shots were really crisp in detail. I loved the way you framed that featured shot in particular. Keep up the great work.

Always the finest selection, and proud to be part of it. Big thanks!

I'm always proud to include you! Big thanks to you for sharing your talents and content with us.

Damn these were some incredible shots. Almost every shot looks like it was made by a professional i really hope i get tagged in a post like this one day! :)

The best part is... our community is full of non-professionals! An excellent shot can be captured by anyone with any device. We welcome quality and encourage everyone to do their best to improve. There is room for everyone here so long as they abide by the rules and guidelines. Based on your last post... i would say your time has come! hahaha

Well by non-professionals i think of people that usually take shots with their phones. I'm just that person i usually take shots with my phone and i don't consider this a professional photography you know. I just see so much visually pleasing photos and then i see these actual cameras and i tell myself i can't compete with these guys. I'm just the typical Iphone user my phone is fine but it's not on that level. I will do my best tho. Thank you for your feedback and yeah i guess i was summoned! :) hehe

Hey, Iphones have higher res and better capability that the two old digital point and shoot cameras i have. Consider yourself blessed! hahaha
