Landscapes kicked everyone’s butt this week! A few beautiful wildlife photos made it in, some stunning portraits (as usual) also made the Top 25, but the vast majority of what you’re about to scroll through are gorgeous, no-way-that-actually-exists landscape photos by some of the most talented users on 500px.

A special shoutout to John Wilhelm, whose playfully Photoshopped portraits of his family always make us smile, and who snagged the number 8 spot this week! To see more from him, click here.

And if you haven’t yet made a Top 25 list, don’t give up. There are a few new names on the list every single week. Keep shooting, keep posting, and keep the dream alive!
