It’s that time of year again! As we bid farewell to 2016 and welcome in 2016 with open arms, we’re taking a fond look back at the most popular images shared on 500px this past year.

There are only two rules:

1. The photos must have been uploaded to 500px (not necessarily taken) in 2016.

2. No photographer may appear more than once on any list, so everybody gets a chance to be featured.

That’s it. We’ll be sharing the Top 10 most popular photos in every category, in addition to an overall Top 10, a Top 10 best-sellers, and a Top 10 ISO posts, so get excited!

We’ve already covered a bunch of Top 10s for our Best of 2016 series, including the the Top 10 Landscapes, Top 10 Portraits, and Top 10 Macro photos. Now it’s time to stalk our way into the animal kingdom for the Top 10 Animal photos of 2016!

Free HD Photos of Birds

Bird photography is one of the most popular genres of nature photography. This should come as no surprise since birding is one of the world’s most popular pastimes! Bird photography is also a very challenging endeavor, requiring specialized skills and equipment – one does not simply pick up the camera used for family vacation photos and capture compelling avian images. On the same token, having the best possible photographic gear for the task does not ensure success either. It seems the most successful bird photographers are not only skilled photographic technicians, but also have a thorough understanding of avian behavior and habitat. Most importantly, they all have a deep love and appreciation for their subjects.
