~ 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!

Thank you very much friend @castelberry for the publication. I found quite a few photos that were very interesting to look at. The selection is really very beautiful. I really liked the one with the young squeteurs from @naitreart and also the one from @jlinaresp.
Yes also the one with the circle of light and the face of @goga22

I Love You Hug GIF

Thank you dear @cyboule ❤️

Thank you very much @cyboule, I'm glad you liked my pictures. The ones you took of the snail are great too, I loved them!

Amazing selection as always! And thank you so much for using one of my images. Always such an honor. The feature photograph for this rendition is amazing, the striking contrasts really create an art piece! Brilliant selection.

Click on the blue title link of that post and check out the rest of her shots... if you haven't already. That probably wasn't the best shot in her post.

And, thanks for your contributions to the curation. It's always tough to pick a single image from you posts since each image tells it's own story or is illustrating your creative writing.

I try to balance the two when I pick your featured shots as well. It's not always the technical best photo but I like the symbolism in your shots and try to find the ones that artistically speak to me when selecting. You live up the the philosopher part of your name. Cheers

I will definitely check out her work! Thank you so much. I really try to engage with some of the other artists and photographers, it is part of the creative process to build that relationship and see what others are doing. The wrap-up posts really help with the process as well.

Oh, and thank you so much for the nice words and compliments. I really appreciate it, and I appreciate the effort even more. Thank you so much for engaging with my work in that way! It really means a lot knowing that this is happening behind the scenes. And I am so happy that the philosophical aspects are shining/coming through. These photography posts of mine have really become key creative outlets for me, a kind of stream-of-consciousness and meditative conduit to release some of the mental tension; my academic work does not always allow for too much creativity.

Thanks again and keep well! I really appreciate all of the effort you can your team puts in.

Awww!!!... Second HotShot Runner Up for mi photo in this amazing @badge-696969 selection!!!!... It is an honor for me and also an excellent way to start my weekend!... THANKS a lot @castleberry friend and big applause for all our top photographer here!!!

!PIZZA

Yes, your top HotShot spot will be getting you 2% of this post's total payout and the whole post had two more that could have also been in there. Great work and thanks for your contributions. Have a great weekend. I'm sure there's more to come!

Wowwww, thank you so much for choosing my two photos in Hotshots 7/20/24 and especially thanks for choosing my photo as Today's Featured HotShot. Well @badge-696969 and dear @castleberry you really are my "wind at my back" and still are. Congratulations to everyone who was selected today, excellent work by everyone! 💪📸📸🔥

Another HatTrick and your featured top Thumbnail HotShot spot is going to get you 6% of this post's total payout. You have had one of the best starts on Hive that I've seen yet in my 7+ years here. Keep up the great work. As a word of the wise... Unless you have a zillion more images for content.... don't exhaust your Source material too fast trying to keep up a daily schedule.

If you have enough content then it won't matter but all your posts are top notch and high effort. Posting too often can be a good and bad thing. I don't want you to feel discouraged when some posts have good rewards and others not so much. Consistency is key and quality as well. You have both but I just wanted to mention since I have seen before many post too often too soon and then run out of shots and then disappear.

Thanks so much @castleberry for this thorough comment. Don't worry, my persistence is my virtue, I don't get discouraged so easily, I have about 30,000 photos processed and ready for posts. When I prepare posts, I want to complete them and for that reason there may be a lot of photos in them. It's hard for me to single out some, I like them all and I want you to see them all. Besides, I very rarely look at how many likes a post has. That's me, the photo is important to me, everything after and behind it is less important to me! ❤️ for you

I am really looking forward to this content journey! I'm excited to see what else you have up your sleeves! Keep up the great work and I think you are really going to excel here on Hive and in this community! Cheers my dear friend.

Thank you very much for showing my image here. Then I also congratulate the friends who have been selected here.

Thanks reeally really much for including my work!! i'm plaining to do more food photography!

You seem to have a natural talent for the food photography. Balance and the composition of the framing mixed with either candid or staged shots are the keys to doing the food photos justice. You did great in this post! Keep up the awesome work!

Excellent curation work👌

Proud to be part of this.🙏

Thanks a lot.

Your featured shot was one of the more interesting ones that took a while for me to visually figure out and fully appreciate! Eventually noticing the person at the bottom gave a fuller appreciation for the scale of that size tree and the fullness of what you captured in your shot. Great work. Cheers

Thank you very much for your words👌

In fact, it is not an easy photograph to perceive.

Sometimes the human figure makes the scale necessary for us to see the size of things.

Appreciate the selection! The post from which this picture came from, has been my most successful publication of the year so far, so I owe a big thank you to everybody that gave me such an incredible support

Wow, that did jump up in support since I was there to curate your post. Congratulations! You deserve it for sharing your skills and art with us in your photography. You never have a bad photo in any of your posts and I can't say that for many others here.

We all have a bad shot or two but yours are always crisp clear and in focus! Keep up the great work my friend. And, don't forget to go check out some of the other posts here and give them some comments or tips a little support too. Cheers!

Thanks so much for the mention and support @castleberry wonderful selection. Congrats to all friends here!

Thank you for including my post here. Very much appreciate it.

Thank you for having me on the curation today! Congrats to all!

Thanks for choosing me.

Thank you very much for the mention and include my post in the hotshot. I appreciate it very much.

Thank you for including my post! 😊

A tremendous selection of photos, I have so enjoyed the variety of styles and photos here. It's always an honor to have any of my photos selected here! Thank you so much dear friend @castleberry, Thanks to you and a big shout out to all our best photographers here!
