Double Crested Cormorant - Unusual Sea Bird

In this article, @youhavewings features a great selection of pictures of this double-crested cormorant, as well as information about why it's such an awesome bird! The article makes me wish I was back in an area where I can see them again!

Ants teaches us to be hard working

@tdas0 has taken many macro photos of these ants and included some Wikipedia diagrams to teach us about the humble ant. You don't have to like ants to appreciate good work!

Sourcing for green leaves for rabbit utilization / rabbit ingest

Another excellent article with lots of informative pictures (and selfies!) telling us how to source greens for our rabbits and how not to kill them (as happened to me once!) @matthewthonyit clearly loves his rabbits!

The Chronicles of a Teacher #12: Appreciating Different Artworks

This is an O.M.G.-inspiring article with TONS of images from an art gallery in Bangkok. @heartscally takes us through the museum with her, telling us about it as we go. Well worth a visit!

Beauty consists in simplicity and abstraction...

This article is proof that pictures are a universal language. @olesia is uncomfortable with English, but does a great job photographing the development of this flower! (Actually, her English is a lot better than she gives herself credit!)

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
