Summervibes by Julia Dávila-Lampe on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “Transporting us right to the seaside, this image holds our attention through the many detailed gestures and interactions between the individuals.”

Mutual fear. by Dmitry Skvortsov on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “This photographer clearly has a knack for capturing a moment; we were drawn in by the palpable emotion and the way the woman and the seagull are frozen in perfect connection with one another.”

Joy by Adrian C. Murray on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “The shallow depth of field, windswept hair, and closed eyes make this a sweet childhood portrait, with the mud flecks only subtly referring to the chaos of the moments before.”

Emma by Anne Geier on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “This photographer took advantage of lovely golden hour light and warm fall colours to create this image—plus, who can resist a good puppy pic?”

ice world by Charlie Jung on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “The unique perspective of this underwater image makes it disorienting and arresting all at once. The scale of the ice and the darkness below are surreal.”

picture my demise by Jeremy Paige on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “The photographer has done a great job harnessing the shadows cast by the surrounding urban environment to frame the image and draw the viewer’s eyes into the scene.”

Shoot by Markus Berger on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “The high level of technical execution in this commercial sports shot is impressive.”

Train in Sri Lanka by Oleh Slobodeniuk on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “The arching line of the train crossing the composition makes this image stand out, and the contrasting tone of the blue train against the bridge is striking.”

Contour by Cameron Boyce on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “This image has a lovely, soft focus, and an unusual perspective that makes us wonder what’s happening outside the frame.”

Rope Walking Angel by Gopinath Ram on 500px.com

What our photo editors loved: “Shooting from slightly below, the photographer isolates his subject in a beautiful, minimal composition. The girl’s statuesque pose and concentrated expression are a testament to both the beauty and hardships of everyday life.”
