Top 40 Instagram accounts of 2014

This is my summary of the top 40 Instagram accounts of 2014. My 2013 list was my most viewed post of each month of 2014. To qualify for my 2014 list the Instagrammer not only had to deliver quality images, but also had to be consistent in doing so. Most of the Instagrammers had built up a significant presence but that was not essential to be included. I also found that three of the accounts that I was tracking during the year to include in this post were closed and gone by the end of the year!

So here is my summary of the very best and most innovative Instagram accounts from 2014, featured here in no particular order and with links so that you can explore each one.
