HOTSHOTS ~ 2/5/25

~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

Hello Photography Lovers! Welcome to another curation report featuring the community HotShots!

In an attempt to get caught back up to date I went back over seven days and tried to curate some of the posts that were missed. Many of these posts are past the payout window... so please visit the Photographer's blogs that you enjoyed so you can support their content that is within the payout window.

The next round of curation should be more current and easier to support the posts you like. The purpose behind making these curation posts is to give more opportunity for everyone to support each other. I would suggest that everyone power up at least some of your rewards so that you can give out more support to one another. We all like to get upvotes but it doesn't make much of a difference if those votes are worthless.

Now, enjoy this round of selections and keep an eye out for the HotShot post too. We had some great shots shared within the community while I was gone. Y'all keep up the great work and thank you all for your contributions to the Photography Lovers Community!

I really loved that featured shot. I almost had it in the top 3. I loved the animal in the foreground, the bug in the middle, the art of an animal in the back and the fence breaking it all up for the eye. Very cool shot!

What a fabulous and diverse collection of photos. So glad I bumped into these. So many I like, though I do think a good photo of railway tracks always holds such a strong promise of adventure.

It really is a very diverse and fabulous variety of shots we are fortunate to have here in the community. I'm with you on the railway track photos. I love to see them bend around into the distance making the imagination consider the possibilities. Thanks for stopping by!

This round was particularly difficult to select the top 3. You are right that very many of the images featured could have easily been the featured HotShot. Glad I am not the only one who noticed. hahaha

Both posts were fantastic but the rails almost made the top 3. I really enjoyed the railroad post. The shipyard looked mammoth also. Hard to think how big that stuff is until you see it.
