It’s that time of year again! As we bid farewell to 2015 and welcome in 2016 with open arms, we’re taking a fond look back at the most popular images shared on 500px this past year.

There are only two rules:

1. The photos must have been uploaded to 500px (not necessarily taken) in 2015.

2. No photographer may appear more than once on any list, so everybody gets a chance to be featured.


What better way to finish our Christmas Day Best of 2015 lists than by exploring the touching world of Family photography.

We’ve already covered the the Top 10 Landscapes, Top 10 Portraits, Top 10 Animal photos and much more. Let’s finish the day with a bit of family fun and the Top 10 Family photos of 2015 on 500px:

A bonus. If it wasn’t for Rule 1 above, this photo would have come in the #3 spot. It’s so lovely, we just had to share it with you!
