~ 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!

Great compilation Thanks for including my post 🙏🙏 love those bird shots this week

I love them all but then again I may be biased - I love bird watching and always appreciate good shots because of the patience it takes. @camphoto, @pavelsku, @tattoodjay, @castri-ja, @shoemanchu, @naitreart, @protobee, @derangedvisions

The bird shots were fantastic. I particularly loved DerangedVisions post. The others had some wonderful posts as well. Taking good shots of birds is very tough. Check out some of Shoemanchu's posts. He has some spectacular captures of a wide variety of exotic birds in action.

Of course, you already know I really enjoyed your Bearded Iris too! Cheers

Thanks appreciate it.

Thank you very much, it is certainly very fascinating to take pictures of birds!

HOLD ON A SEC! What the hell is that thing the owl is holding? Looks like a headless mouse or something similar. I can certainly see its small balls \o\ Brutal.

Dude, you have a good eye for detail. I did see the entrails spilled out and it is a mouse of some sort but I didn't see it's nutsack hanging in the wind. hahaha That is a brutal yet beautiful shot. The whole post is pretty cool.
Your behind the camera shots were also really cool! Cheers

Thank you! I always wonder how ppl take their shots and the techniques used, so sharing mine might inspired others ^~

More awesome shots from the community as usual, great job everyone, keep them cameras clicking. Thank you @castleberry @badge-696969 for the features, appreciate it always. Have a blessed one to you and everyone too.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your appreciation and encouragement! Keep up the great work!

I always enjoy these compilations that have more photos than other times, it is certainly nice to see so much talent together. Thanks so much for the double mention! Cheers dear friend @castleberry!

I loved your portrait set very much! That featured photo was one of my favs from this round of curation! Sometimes I wonder if i feature too many images per post and too often. Thanks for the encouragement and appreciation!

Just that photograph is also one of my favorites of all the ones I did in that session, so I appreciate that it's one of your favorites as well. I personally love to see so many featured photos, it's a good way to find work that for some reason we don't get to see, so I support posts with several featured photos, I love the selection work you do!

Thanks for the mention.

That strange butterfly was one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the mention and your support by including my photos in this post, @badge-696969! I do appreciate it!

You had some really cool shots in that post that made it hard to pick one. I went to the comment section to help tip my vote on which to feature. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Thank you for that feedback, @castleberry! It is very inspiring to hear that from you!

Thank you so much dear friend for the mention, have a great day, best regards 🙋🙋🙋🙋

That was a wild and beautiful plant! Thanks for sharing your shots of it. Keep up the great work.

Those are really nice and cool photos! I love the flowers and the nature thing. It really gives me some peaceful feeling every time I see the beauty of nature.

There is definitely a lot of beauty to behold here! Thanks for sharing your comments and appreciation.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Thank you very much for highlighting my post. 😇

That was a super cool post. I love the way you write and the way your photos tell stories. I did your poem as a prompt.... hope you like it.

WOW 😁

Love it.

(I'm just a little annoyed that the AI can't seem to fix that little problem with hands 😏... and toes)

You can usually use a negative prompt to try and help with the hands. In the prompts anything inside of these brackets [] is considered a negative. So, type in [weird hands, too many fingers, etc.] and it may correct the problem. You can use it to hone in your prompts too if you get a result you like but want to change something. I usually try to remove text, letters, and signatures when I try poster art and stuff like that. It depends on which apps or sites you are using. The Arty bot on discord definitely has good results with the negative prompts. Also, if you us () those then it will prioritize or emphasize what's in there.

I confess that I'm not very good at making prompts. You, on the other hand, always come up with wonderful images. One of these days I'll drop by the server to improvise a bit.
Thanks for your compliments.

Cheers! I must admit, I'm blushing. Haha...
