~ 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!

[litguru]

Thank you for including mine and for all the hard work. I perused three sets, and I'm already exhausted. It's specially difficult when all the images are so good, so you must have a fine-tuned photographic radar to spot the best.

I enjoyed the shots by @gabrielatravels because the color scheme fits right with the Christmas theme. Instead of bright colours, she used a softer coppery looking hue.

After looking @nooramin shots, I'm now thinking I should get a fog machine. These photographs look so good. I think the fog helps focus the eye on a few elements giving it a nice mysterious look.

Asturia looks like it's straight out of Lord of the Rings and @castri-ja shows it's romantic mountainous vistas.

[castleberry]

THose are all excellent shots you selected and I agree with your reasoning as well. THat culture jam looked pretty cool too! Thanks for sharing and caring and commenting in a comprehensive way! Cheers browski

[nooramin]

Thanks for selecting me

[goga22]

Wowww dear @castleberry, thank you so much for choosing two of my photos in Today's HotShots, and especially thank you for choosing the photo of my Christmas tree for Today's Featured HotShot. I have to say that this group is getting stronger with photos every time and I congratulate them all from the bottom of my heart, bravooo

[castleberry]

Tis the season! hahaha Your shot was iconic for this time of year and we needed a good Christmas thumbnail to represent the Holidays. Thanks for your consistent quality and prolific contributions! Keep up the great work.

[jlinaresp]

And a lot of THANKS again @castleberry friend for including in this #hotshots selection my photo of “that mysterious white horse with reins but no rider” that I found in “the middle of nowhere” that day... hahaha! :)) That was a bit weird encounter, I confess! ;)

!PIZZA

[castleberry]

Weird encounters make for excellent shots! That was a cool photo and a great post! Cheers

[littlebee4]

Have a fantastic weekend!Thanks for including this old bell tower 😃 @castleberry

!PIZZA

[castleberry]

That thing looked epic. The warm tones of the wood with the cold tones of the snow and atmosphere gave a really cool contrast and interesting vibe. This was my favorite shot visually...

[littlebee4]

It was epic indeed 😎 never seen anything like that. You should visit it one day 😁

Thank you, I like that photo too. The contrast is just stunning.
Have a lovely Sunday!
!PIZZA

[androliuben]
