~ 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!

Yeahhhh, another Hat Trick for me, thank you dear @castleberry, my tailwind for your support and appreciation of my work here. I've already thought many times how sorry I am that I didn't find out about @ecency much, much sooner. But let's move on, while it lasts... Congratulations to all the other excellent authors

[victorbz]

thank you very much !

[castleberry]

That was a 'picture perfect' featured photograph! I love how the road shined through the obfuscation of the fog and all the layers of the background getting progressively more obscured. The clear focus in the foreground made it all stick out in a good way. Thanks for sharing!

[androliuben]

An awesome round of curation. Well done everybody!

[castleberry]

Thanks Andro! Your contributions are appreciated. Keep up the great work.

[fatemehsohrabiii]

Thank you, castleberry, for mentioning my post.🙏😊😊

[castleberry]

That was a lovely featured photo of yours. I loved the focus on your cup but the detail in the less obvious background. Thanks for sharing!

[rossfletcher]

There's so many great photographers here! Wow. Thanks for including me :)

[castleberry]

The lighting in your post was super cool to see. The gleaming off the surfaces of the water made for a lovely accent to the atmosphere and action in your shots! Thanks for sharing.

[corvidae]

[castleberry]

[neblomax]
