~ 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!

Proud to be part of this excellent selection.
Thank you very much🤝

[castleberry]

That probably wasn't the most beautiful shot in your post but it had the most meaning to me after reading about what those were for! Cheers

[cryptoreforma]

No image is beautiful. They are as harsh as the lived reality.

I promise to redeem myself. Soon I will make a more loving publication, more contextualized in the times we are in.

Big hug and good work.

[castleberry]

I thought it was a great post. Not in terms of how it feels but in terms of how it captured and shared the reality of where you were. I also did find beauty even in the midst of the harsh reality there. Thanks again for sharing and no need to redeem... just keep up the great work. Cheers

[randybpics]

Congratulations to all the photographers in the post for their excellent work.

Shooting in a parking garage Amsterdam

😆 art is where you find it. Often in unexpected places. Well done @haastrecht 👍

and nicely paired with a couple of classic very artistic photos @castleberry

[eustace-kidd]

[fermentedphil]

Thank you so much for the mention and the second hotshot runner-up position! There is some speculation about it, but some people think that that painting is an authentic Rembrandt!

[castleberry]

It would be cool if Rembrandt painted an image of your lady looking at a potential Rembrandt painting isolated on a wall like that.
