There is no follower limit so everybody is welcome to ask for inclusion as long as your own images dominate your feed.

If YOU are an European photographer and want to be a part of the new circle, let me know in the comments. I ask you kindly to reshare this post so that I can promote as many talented photographers as possible when it'll be time to share this circle with the rest of the world.<... more »
