~ 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!

[luisdrian]

thank you for mention me!!!
I am deeply grateful and honored to have my photo included among such an incredible collection of high-quality, artistic shots. This recognition has filled me with excitement and a renewed passion to continue offering and sharing my work, striving to improve its quality even further. Warm hugs from Cuba and a toast with Bucanero beer. Cheers!

[castleberry]

That was an interesting post but i really enjoyed that featured shot! Looking forward to seeing more of your content. Cuba is apparently filled with some amazing photographers! Cheers

[marijasworld]

Great shots everyone! There are so many talented photographers! Each time I look at this post, it surprises me how much variety we all have and what a great masterpiece we make through this community, joining all our work and passion together! Thanks for including my photo in this selection @castleberry! Have a great weekend everyone!

[castleberry]

I normally don't curate photos from aircraft as they are more often that not generic and poor quality. Your post was an exception! You had some wonderful shots in full focus. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us and you are right... this community blows my mind (and eyes) out daily! Keep up the great work. Cheers

[steven-patrick]

Wow that goga22 tripleshot is perfect 👏 each little point on the leaf has a little drop of water 😍 thanks for including my post and good to see your curation getting back on track 👍

[castleberry]

I thought so too! It really is a perfect shot on many levels. I get caught up and then back to two days behind. hahahah

[avdesing]

I'm fascinated by boats, it was a great thing to find that big boat. Thank you very much always!!!!😃

[castleberry]

Boats and ships are super cool. I would love to get on one and just sail away into the abyss!

[avdesing]

Exactly! Let's go!

[jlinaresp]

Thank you for including one of my photos in this top-quality #hotshots selection @castleberry friend!... 😃📷🙏... Big applause for all our talented photographers here!!! 👏

[castleberry]

The birds on the wire look so tiny on that featured shot of yours that it really puts the scale into perspective! Thanks for sharing your top-quality shots with us so frequently, here in the community!

[godfish]

Thanks for the mention, I am glad you appreciated my shots. I still have few more posts from the Brazilian trip up my sleeve ;)

[castleberry]

I had no idea there was such a Japanese fused culture anywhere in Brazil! Thanks for enlightening us and for sharing their beautiful artwork as well. Looking forward to seeing what else you got for us!

[godfish]

Well, it surprised me too :))

[fotostef]

Thanks again for the double mention! I see that you are catching up quickly :)

[castleberry]

Trying my best...

Both of your posts were cool but the shots in each were excellent!

[mxulxdxn]

Thank you for mention me in this #hotshot selection by @castleberry

[castleberry]

Those silhouettes showcased that golden-hour perfectly. It was tough to decide between the shots with people or without! Keep up the great work.

[mxulxdxn]

thank you so much. I am always try my best to take some golden hours.

[goga22]

Dear @castleberry, thank you on Today Featured HotShot and another Hat Trick... Thank you so, so much on Your support from my first day here, with you.... Big Congrats to all.... ♥️♥️

[castleberry]

That whole post was cool but i was drawn to that featured shot and it was very fitting for the top HotShot thumbnail spot! You will be getting 6% of this post's total payout. I would encourage you to powerup more of your rewards. Your Hive Power is what makes your votes worth something. I see you all around, as I curate, and you vote on posts and comments but it just diminishes your Voting Power. I would at least powerup as much as it takes to get your vote up to 2 cents. When you vote on a comment... they person doesn't get anything for that vote unless it's worth 2 cents or more. Just a kind suggestion to help spread the love a bit further!

[goga22]

I didn't know about these values ​​of voice, nor did I know that my voice doesn't give anything to the person I'm commenting on. In fact, I've never even thought about it, but I feel the need to write something when I see something I like. They say: "A man learns while he's alive and then leaves quite stupid". Thanks for the advice "at the wind's tail". I'm trying, but I don't know how to amplify and increase my rewards, except that I really try to publish only the best of me. However, it seems that there is some invisible practice here that what is valuable is actually worth less than what is less valuable. But never mind, let's move on.

[victorbz]

thank you for adding !
