~ 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!

Great portraits for the triple shots 😉 yeah I count the parrot as a portrait and if not the photographer, the sculpturer was trying to capture Hercules haha Thanks for including my photos in your compilation. Some great creativity like the sphere and the lightpainting this edition

I would count that one as a portrait as well! hahaha There were a bunch of awesome shots this round! Thanks for taking time to share your interests and for your contribution. Cheers

Greetings and thanks for mentioning my post in your publication. I think it was hard work for you to take so much time reviewing a large number of publications, as I know there are many to be able to determine the most outstanding ones. Thank you very much for your magnificent work.

Thank you for sharing you awesome shots and the beauty of Cuba with us here in the community! Also, thank you for appreciating the work that goes into curating the community that has so much talent on display. It does take a lot of time to get rid of scammers and spammers as well as go through each post manually to select the best of the best from all users!

Thank you very much for the mention. 🙏

The snow seems to be not so easy to come but easy go this year! Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Thank you for the trust and for giving me the opportunity to be selected alongside such high-level photographers. I truly appreciate it. 🙂🙂🙂

That featured shot was really good in many ways! Glad to have you here. I would suggest making yourself an introduction post. Use the tags #introduceyourself and #introducemyself.

To help support your success and to help you from making any mistakes here on the platform... i wanted to share two posts i made to help newer users do well here on Hive.

Please check those out when you get some time and make sure NOT to do the things in there it warns against doing. I think this will increase your chances of support moving forward and accelerate your growth as well!

I will check it out, thank you very much

I hope it helps boost your starting progress!

I am happy to be spotted, thanks @castleberry

Those were some beautiful flower shots! Cheers

Thank you so much for your support throughout what seems like seven months that I've been here with you. Thank you for the selection, for another Hat Trick dear @castleberry, congratulations to all the other selected authors

Hard to believe that much time has gone by already! Keep up the great work my dear friend.

I will, be sure

Some fantastic snaps here, thanks for the mention, much appreciate it

This was an awesome round! You will be getting 4% of this post's total payout for your top 3 spot of this round of curation. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. Cheers

and thank you @castleberry for a great community

Oh, thanks for mentioning.🙂 Winter photos made it into your selection.😁 Too bad I don't have a copter - there could have been a lot of interesting shots from above...

Maybe you could save a little bit of rewards to get you a drone?! I bet some aerial views would have been super cool. You got some great shots either way. Cheers my friend.

A drone is in the plans, first comes the shopping list of equipment for spending the night in the winter outdoors. I need a good tent, a potbelly stove and a sleeping bag. Some things have already been bought, it remains to find a person who will dare to spend the night in the forest in winter, for example.😁

That sounds awesome! I am sure you will find someone. Lure them with the cuteness of the cat! hahaha

😁😁😁
Nice option.😁

It has been an interesting Christmas season with fantastic decorations. Thank you always for the support!😃

It really has! The pleasure is mine my dear friend. Keep up the great work.
