At the end of every 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 Urban Exploration to Nature; from Underwater to Food; from Performing Arts to the City and Architecture 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.
Fine Art is all about creating the fantastic and the impossible—and making it come to life in pictures with the help of skills, tools (most commonly Photoshop), and creativity. Here, an artistic photographer’s imagination can truly run wild in post-production, resulting in unreal compositions, magical worlds, and surreal storytelling. Scroll down to see the 20 most popular Fine Art images shared on 500px this year so far.
