~ 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!

[steven-patrick]

Congratz to @littlebee4 👍 she is always creating quality content 🙂 Some photographers make you want to go visit where they have been. Littlebee4 is that way. I gotta say I have some travel envy from @joetunex's New Zealand shots too. Great shots.

[joetunex]

Thank you 😊, Jackie ranks up there with her travel and photo shots. It is probably a thing with phography we envy beautiful shots and place 😀, I do envy too.

[littlebee4]

Thank you @steven-patrick 😊 that’s nice to hear.

Me too… if only we could visit him and explore NZ 😎

[joetunex]

It will be so awesome 😀
Come on over guys!

[littlebee4]

Maybe one day… 😁 it would be awesome.

[castleberry]

Littlebee's posts are always full of adventure and intrigue. I enjoy how much effort she puts into her posts and her photos are excellent as well. Glad you pointed out her content and Joe definitely has shared some of the beauty of New Zealand. He will be an official KIWI in no time! hahaha
We are getting snow today similar to what you showed in your post. Stay warm my friend. haha

[marijasworld]

Thank you for your support @castleberry !! Many many many great shots! It's amazing! I am glad that I get to see them thanks to you, sometimes I scroll and look at the photos, but I always miss some great post, and here I can see it and read the post from other people too! Thanks for choosing my photo, I am glad that you like it! It's the first time to see myself here on the photo too! Thank you for making me be part of this selection! I didn't post anything lately since a week, as I was busy, but I will post soon. I wish you and everyone a good day!

[littlebee4]

Wooohhooooo AWESOME! Thank you so much @castleberry for the RUNNER UP 🥳🤩 much appreciated.

Congratulations to the other selected authors.
Beautiful selection of photos today! Looks like they get better and better 😎
Have a fantastic day all 👋🏻

[castleberry]

The backlit warm light radiating off of the cold tones of the snow covered landscape made for some photographic magic! Thank you for all the effort you put into each post. You will be getting 4% of this post's total payout for your spot in the HotShot top 3. Keep up the great work and you have a wonderful weekend. Cheers

[littlebee4]

Thank you so much 😊
It is so beautiful up here. Happy to share that magic ✨
That’s great, much appreciated. Will do.
Have a wonderful weekend too.
Cheers

[friendlymoose]

Thanks for highlighting my post!
Beautiful collection of photos!

[castleberry]

You had some really cool shots in that post. I think it would be awe-inspiring and a bit nerve-wracking to come across a Rhino in the wild. They have always been one of my favorite animals and I don't think most people have enough respect for their raw power and size. Thanks for sharing your shots with us! Have a great weekend my friend.

[vonlecram]

Wow! Today's Featured HotShot! I didn't expect that! Congrats everyone, so much wonderfull pictures.

[castleberry]

Who said oil and water don't mix?! hahaha I thought they made for some excellent shots. Very abstract and beautiful captures. You will be getting 6% of this post's total payout for your HotShot Thumbnail spot. Cheers

[victorbz]

thank you for adding !

[castleberry]

I loved that shot! It had a lot of interest going on in there. Thank you for sharing!

[goga22]

Thank you very much dear @castleberry for choosing my two photos in Today's Hotshots. I must say that the competition is getting stronger every time and I congratulate everyone from the bottom of my heart on the excellent photos.

[castleberry]

I loved how you set up the makeup into the shape of a clock and the creativity in your other post was pretty awesome. This was a great round of curation and the next post is also looking good so far! Keep up the great work.

[goga22]
