HOTSHOTS ~ 8/27/25
~ 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!

Omg, better and better photos, well done team. Thank you very much for another Hat Trick dear @castleberry, but thank you most of all for my third selected photo, which means a lot to me. It is a mural that the city of Sisak had made, in memory of my cousin Damir, a top jazz guitar master who was taken from us by the damn Covid in 2020. Congratulations to all the selected and excellent authors
