As of now there is no theme or guidelines, I will just be posting a sweet list like this one that showcases 5 photos from 5 different relatively unknown accounts. Each post featured will get a massive 100% upvote from me as well as a fifth of the proceeds from this curation post. Hopefully in the future I will be able to expand on these rewards. Let me know if you have any ideas ;)
The inspiration for this weekly curation came from ’s project “The Mesopotamians” which is an awesome initiative to help build community minded leaders in the Steemosphere, which in turn will make this a stronger platform overall.
Now Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy the Show.
This is the first photo in the photo curation for today! It's from
entitled "A beautiful sunset behind a dirty piece of glass".

This is such a killer sunset photo. Did the dirty glass make the scene more beautiful? Maybe it gave it context? Shows us the beauty of life despite our flawed perception of it? Actually my computer screen is so gross right now that I can't really tell which glass is imparting that lovely effect but either way this is a killer photo. Maybe even if the glass were clean it would still work. Maybe I should clean my computer monitor...
Who does number2 work for? It's really working for
today with their post entitled simply "Bee".

I love this Bee. And the photograph a well. This is a piece of macro photography that really has nice composition as well as great technical work. Who knew bees made such good models?
Rolling on like deoderant, here's a piece by
that was taken on something called "film".

I'm not exactly sure what "film" is but it seems to work out really well for sherry. The colors and lines in this photo are really cool and the way the light plays through the foliage is quite nice.
Our fourth photo featured on the FFFFFFFFFF today is by

Something about this is very peaceful for me. Maybe it's the muted colors framing those purple flowers, the soft grasses you can just imagine are waving gently in a warm breeze, I feel like I could just lay down and disappear in there.
And last but certainly not least, I really love this portrait by

This is some really fine work right here. The contrast and range of values and the composition are super cool. The clarity is super crisp. The choice to show the lower half of the face here and not the eyes is really interesting and allows us to find the mouth as the focal point instead giving it a lot of interest and power. Really nice work gmaik, welcome to the platform and keep it up.
Onward and Upward, or at least sideways please...
Well this curation project has been running for at least a month and a half so far and has been a lot of fun and really educational for me. I haven't had time for much photography myself lately as I've been pushing myself to put out a new song everyday with my account and as usual life is really weird, plans changing, flights and things, but this project is really inspring me to get back to it and up my game.
I hope you'll join me again next week for another 5 Fab Photos Friday! (from fellow fish with fewer than 500 followers)
PEACE! (mic drop)
