For the past several years we have all seen photo sharing websites come and go, all of them with hopes of outshining the best known and most followed Flickr. Well, there is a new contender who might just have a chance. Just as Google+ gains momentum and begins to slowly take attention away from facebook, the site 500px.com looks to do the same in photo-sharing. Whether it's your day job or just a weekend hobby, if you are serious about photography you certainly want to give this site a look.

Among the several advantages of 500px, users now have the ability to display larger and higher quality images than on Flickr. The site also allows the creation of stylish, professional looking displays where others can comment, like, and subscribe to your work. While this is scary for amateurs like myself, it is also very helpful to learn what others in the field think of your work.
