Shame on you. Shame on all of you! Making me scroll through nearly 7,700 photos, seething with jealousy at the amazing work you’re all putting together and sharing on 500px. I can’t believe you would do this to me!

Well… actually… I can. Because we sort of asked you to.

For our latest Photo Quest, aptly titled “Best of March,” we asked you to submit your absolute best photography from the first half of this month. We’re only halfway through the Quest and already almost 8,000 entries have been submitted!

There are some that clearly didn’t read the rules—the photos have to be shared between March 3rd and March 18th to be eligible to win the super cool prize—but the quality of the work that is being uploaded is blowing our minds.

Macro, portraits, landscapes, animal photos, still life images… you name it, we’re seeing it. Here are 60 of our favorite entries so far:
