HOTSHOTS ~ 3/23/23
~ 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!

Thanks for your support :)
Thanks for sharing more than one image and including the video, so you could be featured here in the HotShot post. You always have cool photography. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for the mention in your feature!
I hope you're feeling better @castleberry.
You are most welcome! It was difficult to select which of your shots to feature. I am feeling much, much better, thanks for the well wishes! I hope you are doing well yo self my friend!
Really good to hear you're doing much better. It always sucks to be sick. I'm doing okay, thanks.
Always pick the one you want. I look forward to seeing which one you pick. It's what I think of when clicking on the notification😄.
That's one of the greatest rewards for all i do for the community behind the scenes, picking the featured images here. I have a different style and taste, so oftentimes appreciate images that surprise the photographers. I really wanted to do the first reflection in the christmas ball but love the angle of the reflection featured in the one i chose. And, it does always suck to get sick... although this time i got delerious for a couple of days so much that it was almost fun. Weirdo Timmy
Well you do a fine job of selecting. It's not easy and it's also time consuming, although fun when you enjoy it. It's far more interesting to me to hear what someone else prefers and sees. It gives me a completely different perspective. Thank you for that.
😂 Oh that fun (not really) experience. I can relate. Perhaps it'd be fun if it was just that aspect, not combined with not fun other stuff.
Thank you so so much for the mention !! <3 greetings from Colombia
You are most welcome!
i can make you a question ?
Please do! Ask away...
Could you explain about witness votes? I have 30 and don't know what to do with them
Yes, and thanks for asking. Witnesses are node operators, or people who run the Hive network. We vote for the top ones and it cost us nothing! It helps them and it's part of the democratic process that helps keep things decentralized. So, support the witnesses you want to see do well and that are actively running the network. You can look at my witness votes to help you choose some...
Thank you so mutch !!!
Hello bro, I hope you're doing well. I have another question that's been bothering me a bit. For the past few days, my posts haven't been receiving a good reception. Do you know if I'm making any mistakes, or do you have any advice on how to improve? Thank you in advance for your time.
From what i can see, my suggestion would be to try and engage a bit more. I see a many day gap in your comments. You post fairly regularly but the more you engage the better you will expand.
You have been around since the Steem days and not much has changed in as far as how to grow and build here on HIVE. Sometimes, you may be curated and get some bigger votes. Many times, curation from big accounts doesn't happen, and it will just be the organic response most people get.
So, i wouldn't say you have received a bad reception. You were curated a few times in the middle. It always feels good to get the big votes and curated well. It can feel the opposite when a person doesn't get the votes they would like to see.
This is why it's important to network and communicate and develop relationships. The HotShots curation post is designed to hook everyone up with each other. Just connecting with everyone on the posts featured will get you plugged into some network of possible support. It's mostly about relationships here. That's my advice... make the BEST Quality content you can and develop your relationships. I hope this helps.
Of course it's helpful, and a lot. I thought that because I've been around since the Steem times, my account was no longer useful or something like that. The truth is, I only came back recently and I'm only posting here now, Steem is forgotten. But if it has nothing to do with that, I'll keep moving forward. Do you advise me to continue with this account or create a new one that doesn't come from those times?
Stick with this account and just don't be active over there. People respect the old school users that migrated over here. Just keep doing your thing and follow those tips i gave you and you should do fine. Also, i have two posts that help explain some other details for new folks.. but it's useful info even for not so new users.
How To Get A Great Start on the Hive Blockchain
How To Get A Great Start on Hive 2
Please check those out when you get some time and make sure NOT to do the things in there it warns against doing. I think this will increase your chances of support moving forward and accelerate your growth as well!
Amazing bro, thank you!!! 🙃
Thank you so much for the mention, I am so happy, thank for the support, have a great day, the best regards 🙋🙋

Oh, the bone post got into the selection.!😁 Thank you for support.!
I didn't pick the coolest bones in the post but i loved the angle, focal depth, and candid nature of the featured image. Hopefully, everyone will drop by the post to see all the rest of the awesome shots. Skeletons of all sorts are extremely fascinating and interesting to look at. Cheers mate

We're glad to see you back in action! You always have some impressive photography to appreciate and enjoy. That building in the featured image was exquisitely beautiful. I love the framing and color of that shot.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise, thanks so much @castleberry and @badge-696969.
Glad to see you popping up around these parts! hahaha Keep up the great work my friend.
Glad to see some of my friends fetured here. Well deserved!
The Cubans have been representing fine art photography for quite a while now! It's been an impressive thing to see. Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to comment.
Fantastic photos and so diverse too, I am very impressed.
Variety is the Spice of Life, or so they say. I think the diversity is one of the greatest strengths in this community. I always find myself impressed when putting together these comps and curating the posts to get them here.
Thanks for featuring my work here! It is an honour & a pleasure to be in this company!
Those were some really awesome and colorful shots! What an interesting tradition. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Yes, I will! I'll be posting more about this year passed carnival...
