HOTSHOTS ~ 17/5/25
~ 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!
This edition is brought to you by @erikah. I'm happy to see so many great photographs each day. Some posts have so many good shots, it's really difficult to choose the one to be featured. Thank you for your amazing contribution and keep up the good work!
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!

The pleasure is all mine Stef! You had so many amazing photos, it was really difficult to choose :)
A beautiful collection as always, but this time I focused a lot on the animal photos, there are so many and all the photos are amazing. Thank you so much for the mention, it's always an honor!
I'm working with what the community gives me 🤪, so if we have good animal photos, then these get featured. If we don't have animal photos, then I feature what we have.
The only criteria that counts here is quality.
You're very welcome, your amazing contribution is highly appreciated 😊
What a surprise... I am very happy.
I appreciate your consideration of my publication.
Regards
I'm happy to know you're happy 😆
You had some good shots, so I hope to see you continuing posting 😉

Best regards
Same to you my friend 🙂
