~ 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!

[riyat]

Thank you very much for choosing my post, I will continue to try to give the best ♥️

[castleberry]

Your dragonfly featured shot just barely missed being in the top three! Your whole post had some very high quality shots! I hope everyone goes to check out your post to see the quality and beauty. Cheers!

[riyat]

Almost made it to the top three!
wow that's really an amazing achievement for me, I will try to do better in the future, thank you very much my brother ♥️

[castleberry]

Just keep doing what you are doing! It's working and with so many selections making the top 3 is super difficult. But, more than once you have been in the running considered for the top spots! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your art with us!

[riyat]

Thank you very much my brother ♥️
I will continue to try my best🔥🔥

[liusdyperez]

Thank you for your support. Great work and congratulations to all the chosen ones and winners.

[castleberry]

You are very welcome! That was a really cool post and I couldn't resit that featured shot even though you had many other great photos in your post. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

[littlebee4]

Such awesome selection today 😎
Thank you for including my Den-Bosch capture.
Have a fantastic weekend all 👋🏻

[castleberry]

That was a super cool #WednesdayWalk post and you had a very diverse set of shots. I loved that Dragon water fountain tower. I know how difficult getting the best shots of those types of monuments can be. You did a great job and I couldn't help but to feature that one here in the curation post. This was an amazing collection and thank you for your contribution to the community!
Have a great weekend!

[littlebee4]

Thank you so much 😊
Yes, the fountain was difficult. Being in the middle of a busy road and rather large in height.
Have a great day 👋🏻

[dimascastillo90]

Thank you very much for highlighting my work here @castleberry It's a great selection, congratulations to all the photographer friends :)

[castleberry]

It's always a pleasure to highlight and feature your work! Thanks for sharing it here in the community with us all. Keep up the great work and Cheers

[randybpics]

Thanks for including me in the post, congratulations to the other photographers mentioned and to the winners for their excellent photos, impressive the level that the community has reached.

[castleberry]

Those were some excellent portraits and easily could have been in the winner list. I think since we have so much diversity of topics and themes and photographic styles... that anyone could be a winner at any point. Thanks for sharing your shots with us and I absolutely love that model you've been working with. I hope y'all continue to shoot more and more! Have a great weekend my friend. Cheers

[yeni82]

Thank you very much for including my work in your selection @castleberry. Excellent selection of photographs. Many congratulations to the winners and all those selected. Regards ☺️

[castleberry]

Those were some excellent lizard shots! Those things move so fast it's not easy to get such high quality shots too often. Thanks for sharing with us here in the community! Cheers

[yeni82]

The lizard acted like a professional model allowing me to take several pictures. I'm glad you liked the images. Nice day ☺️

[castleberry]

hahahaha

[fotostef]

It looks like prickly pears tend to appear quite often lately :)

Thanks a lot!

[castleberry]

You had two prickly pear shots i had a tough time selecting from... but I also was torn to not feature this one!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts in the post also. I hope everyone goes to check out all your shots! Cheers my friend!!!

[fotostef]

Oh, yes. This one shows the beauty of our route, on its full glory :)

Cheers!

[iquique]

[castleberry]

It's true! You had some great shots. I want to feature more of you content as I have family in Chile, and Iquique. Pay more attention to your focus settings in your shots and you will be featured and curated more often. Cheers my friend! Have a great weekend.

[iquique]

How nice, my friend, where does your family live in Chile? I live in the first region of Iquique.

[castleberry]

It's my partner who's family is from Chile. I will have to ask her and get back to you. I am pretty sure her dad and his family are mostly from Iquique.

[iquique]

How nice, my friend, in Iquique there is a beach called Cavancha.

[castleberry]

Arica and Concepción are the other two places her family is from but they mostly originate from Iquique! I thought you would appreciate that.

[iquique]

beautiful place

[victorbz]

thank you for the double strike !!! :-))) 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[castleberry]

In this case 'strikes' are a good thing. Stay safe and thanks for your contributions to making Hive and Photography Lovers a better place. You are appreciated... even if it doesn't feel that way based on engagement with your posts. I hope everyone drops by your posts to comment and support your art. Cheers and God Bless my friend! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[victorbz]

hahaha yes i meant something far from war when wrote "strikes" :-))) this word is useful in cricket, baseball, football and even for bowling :-))))
huge thank you for the kind words. have a great weekend !

[castleberry]

I think of baseball mostly with the whole 3 strikes and you are out. But then I considered what is happening over there at the moment and considered a more negative vibe. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the situation that has transpired since around this time last year.

But that is probably better for another time if you feel for it. I think a post to discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences would be very insightful for those of us around the world that only get slanted reports from shitty legacy media.

You will probably have a better weekend not thinking about that stuff though. hahaha I'm sure I will see you more in the next couple days. Cheers my brother!

[victorbz]

we can talk about the situation and will explain it for you from my personal point of view, not sure how it real can be, but sure much more real than the shitty media. My weekend is going well, but sometimes i put my eyes on the specific list on Twitter, talking about the situation. It's here, very difficult to stay escapist and some of my friends are living in the areas of the daily sirenas. Thank you for the very kind words. 🖤🖤🖤

[ellenripley]

Thank you very much for the mention. 🥰

[castleberry]

Thanks for sharing your shots with us!

[castleberry]

Me too! Your manicurist was a lovely model and y'all had a great set of shots. Keep up the great work and thanks for your contributions!

[goga22]

Many, many thanks to dear @castleberry 😇 for choosing my photo as First HotShot Runner Up and two in Today's HotShots. Yeahhhhh HatTrick once again 💪, but this one today much stronger, much more powerful. I must say that the competition is getting stronger every time and I congratulate all the excellent ones on this occasion. Keep going strong everyone! 🙌📸💙❤️

[castleberry]

You probably would have gotten the top spot if you hadn't already got it last time! hahaha That was an excellent post and you definitely deserved to be in the running.

[goga22]

Dear friend @castleberry ❤️ ..... Thank you for this just a little wind who you are 😉😇
