~ 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!

I am a sucker for fantastic cacti shots! That was no exception. Glad you got your postcard idea manifested. I think i remember you mentioning the idea some years back. I think they turned out excellent.

Thank you!

Yes, they are a very old idea. I kept wondering what's the best way to print them, only to realise that if I ever wanted to actually make them, I should go with the way I knew all along :)

Good morning. I never tire of expressing my gratitude for the support and for including my photos in these compilation posts. I love looking through them—they serve as a reference point and help me discover the work of other fellow contributors here on Hive. This one captivated me with so many images; all the selections are excellent, but I was especially drawn to those by hiddenblade and tonyz. I visited both of their posts… it had never occurred to me to photograph makeup powder—how brilliant! And the ferris wheel, wow, it’s a perfect example of how photography becomes more compelling when it conveys what is felt rather than what is merely seen. Thank you, always, for the learning.

Time is quite the beast... but it can be tamed by the beauty of wisdom. It is wise of you to always be learning, growing, and developing! We can all learn a lot about life in general, not just photography, from each other here! Hiddenblade's post was one of my favorites. She is very creative in so many ways! Those glimmer makeups remind me of flower petals when shot so close up in macro. Tony always has some interesting subjects and perspectives. His photos tell a story all on their own. Thank you for sharing your adventures and deep thoughts with us here in this community! Cheers Nani

That Alligator looked massive. I loved the way you shot it with all that green stuff on it from the water. You couldn't tell it was in a zoo either! Cheers Joe

His whole post was pretty incredible. It was difficult to select just one to feature from that post!
You have been a posting machine! Congratulations for getting your workflow and rhythm down to an art. I really enjoyed your cooking/food photography posts! Keep up the great work my dear friend. I guess your next goal is the double Hat Trick! hahahha I was running behind in curation so i had to start from pretty far back. Almost caught up now though. haha
