Windows by Marcel Ekkel
Today I uploaded a few of my pictures at 500px. A website dedicated to photography. When started it became a major competitor for flickr.com. Anyways, the picture above is a picture I shot when walking around in Central, Hong Kong. The photo was shot using an iphone 3GS so nothing advanced there.
I did like the fact that there are no people or cars just buildings. Making it black and white put a good emphasis on the lines.
Shortly after uploading it, likes, loves and comments started rolling in. And after a while I received a nice email that it achieved the popular status. The email looked like the picture below.

It is a nice feeling :) so well done for 500px
