At the end of each year we do a “Best of *inset year here*” series, in which we count down the top 10 most popular photos in every single category. From Nature to Street; from Portraits to Still Life; from Travel to, yes, even the Nude category.

These are some of the community’s favorite posts, raising the bar as they point out the best of the best (or at the least most popular…) images shared on 500px from the past year. But why wait for December to check in with the categories? Let’s see how the community is doing now that we’re a few months into 2016 and really rolling.
