HOTSHOTS ~ 10/9/25
~ 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!
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!

Muy contenta de que tres. De mis fotos estén en esta selección de hoy y que una de ellas haya alcanzado el primer lugar entre las 3 más destacadas.
También mi felicitaciones al trabajo de los demás fotógrafos que han sido seleccionados. Realmente hay muy buenas imágenes.
Mis saludos a usted y a los miembros de esta comunidad.
Thank you 😀
I'm really grateful for the support. It means a lot to me that my photographs are appreciated and liked ❤
Hola, sin dudas, una gran colección de fotos. Una comunidad muy activa. Gracias por tenernos en cuenta curador.
I love that this photo took Today's Featured HotShot. This little bird, called Carta Cuba in Spanish and Cuban tody in English, is about 10 cm tall and is such a tiny, funny little thing, because of the sound it makes when it flaps its wings (it’s almost like it’s farting!🤣). It looks like a brightly colored plush toy. It’s an endemic bird of Cuba.
Thanks for your support towards all my colleagues here featured!
Thank you for the mention and for the excellent compilation of the day, always doing a great work @castleberry. Congratulations to all colleagues!
Happy that my photo has been selected for the second time in a row :)
Thanks, have a great weekend!
Hola,reincorporándome luego de haber estado enferma pero nuevamente muy agradecida de haber estado en la selección. Las imágenes de mis compañeros, muy buenas. Cada día más motivada, complacida y aprendiendo de todos.
Wonderful selection of photographs; all works of art.
Congratulations, @castleberry
