Coup de coeur de la semaine

Hello folks,

We might be a few days late with the posts on the blog but hey, cheer up, here come the new Coup de Coeur of the admins and officers of PAPM !

When a picture captivates you, makes you question yourself and eventually troubles your mind, you sometimes say this picture has got something that speaks to you ! Well, Julien Gonnin posted this week on the group a very beautiful picture which I categorized as "Psychedelic" for its wonderful colors and that music beat it seems to create in my mind. Stirring, powerful and unusual, that picture deserved to be honored and what better way of expressing our appreciation than by putting it as Coup de Coeur !

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and what I see now on the picture of Michael Boldrini is the beauty of the eyes of a fabulous woman. I have never for my part seen such a fine photograph of a veiled woman. What Michael captured here shows that the eyes are truly a powerful tool which can set many men's heart racing. Very traditional, yet beautiful, Michael's picture wooed our hearts.

There is an old saying in French that says: "La simplicité fait bien les choses". This week on the Facebook page of PAPM, it has been demonstrated to us by three beautiful pictures posted by 3 members.

First of all, Michael Roussel, you deserved too for your active participation and continuous show of stunning imageries, to be among the Coup de Coeur. We loved that magnificent daisy you choose to picture in all its simplicity. Bravo Michael !

The second image that embodies really well the French saying I quoted up above, is a picture of a bee and a flower. Well done to Yat Rdrs who captured this "hover fly" as called by one member. Delicate and sweet, this image shows the beauty of what is in nature. Continue to try hard at getting even better pictures.

Last but not least, is the image of someone whose efforts we would like to praise. New among the PAPM family, I think this mention to his picture and name on the blog would be a most warm welcome. Congratulations to Asvin Jacob.

Picture of the week - Mozammil Khodabacchas

Ever since he received his camera and started shooting around, Mozammil Khodabacchas aka Milo has always felt more at ease with landscapes than portraits. And he did not mind getting all tanned just to catch those seascapes he adores very much. This week, his picture of a "pink sea" is featured on PAPM's blog as picture of the week. Succeeding to the "Alice" portrait of Leteechia Runagasamy, this serene and appealing photograph has been chosen for its beauty, fantastic composition and also for appraising the efforts of Milo at trying to get better and better.

Well done !

Coup de coeur de la semaine

Here I am again !

This time I will announced the PAPMers whose pictures have been chosen as Coup de Coeur. We had a hard time choosing just one and so therefore, I decided to put those admins and officers loved all the way.

Always trying to do his best at being creative, Zaheer Allam has this week uploaded a beautiful picture of a close up on a cactus plant. Its magnificent light, colors and droplets of water caught our eyes. It would have been perfect for our abstract theme. It shows the spirit we are trying to stir in our members by creating such themes. Thank you for the effort Zaheer.

Mauritius' landscapes always seem to be beautified by Aboo Khadaroo's lens. His passion for them has lately produced a beautiful album titled Beaches of Mauritius and this week, he posted the above picture. Its composition and colors wooed us and we thought why not put this picture among our Coup de Coeur ! Well done Aboo !

When Emma Thiternik Grigoryan posted this fantastic and almost surreal picture on PAPM this week, a desire to go to the sea, to dive and to swim bubbled up among our PAPMers. Inspiring and beautiful, this picture is the dreamroad she found in Mauritius and we hope that the road does not end where the sea and the sky meet. Good luck to you !

And thank you all for sharing your art with us !

And a little mention to Jean-Louis Bryan Janvier whose picture of the three kids on the beach also appealed very much to one of us. Keep it up !

Picture of the week - Leteechia Rungasamy

Hello folks,

After celebrating Houriiyah Tegally's efforts as picture of the week previously, this week we welcome as our new profile picture on PAPM's Facebook page, the portrait done by Leteechia Rungasamy.

Congratulations to you,

Keep clicking!

Coup de coeur de la semaine

Hello members of PAPM and lovers of photography,

Here we are again getting ready to announce you the new Coup de Coeur of admins and officers on PAPM. We all had a tough moment deciding which picture to choose but in the end, our great likes for flowers and love stories won over all the other pictures. This week, we chose not one picture for Coup de Coeur, but three pictures. We have that of the bokeh lover, Mo Pena Nom, the micros expert, Bu Rt and last but not the least, the wedding photographer, Doorgesh Mungur.

Doorgesh Mungur's picture of this lovely couple praying and holding a light conquered our hearts. Its atmosphere filled with love, warmth and intimacy convinced us that it should be among the Coup de Coeur of the PAPM's blog. The other pictures from that couple series are also worth the attention !

He may bear no name, but his pictures bear his watermark, a watermark not made with ink, but with bokehs ! Poetic, this image of Mo Pena Nom is imprinted with such a delicacy and a sense of aesthetics that it simply melts our hearts.

One day, you could run into Bu Rt at the Champ-de-Mars photographing horses with that passion we know him to harbor. But on days when he feels like looking for the intricate outlines in nature, this "Little Buddha" is the type of pictures you will see him doing. And for doing this so well, he deserves to be our Coup de Coeur too. That is teaching some good macro lesson !

Congratulations to you !

Picture of the week - Houriiyah Tegally

Hello folks,

Last week, Jeffrey Chan Tin's picture of beautiful flowers in BW was selected as Picture of the Week ! And he deserved it (the picture is now printed and probably framed on the wall of his house). This week, we have decided to encourage one of our recent members who is dedicated to the art of photography. She has shown a lot of love for clicking and has done many efforts to try to get the best pictures. She kept on improving and today, we decided that she should be our new Picture of the Week to reward her!

Congratulations 

Houriiyah Tegally !

Coup de coeur de la semaine

Now this week for the Coup de Coeur, we had a tie. We saw beautiful pictures that amateurs posted on PAPM and we could not decide which one we would put on the blog. Therefore, I thought why choose. All the pictures were outstanding in their own way. So here on the blog this week, we named Keveen Rick Mihdidin and Yashna Mooloo as our Coup de Coeur for the first week of November. Keveen, all your pics posted on the group during October caught our attention. Obviously we could not put all of them, but we hope you'd love to see one of them here. Yashna, keep up with the good work. You are getting better with every click !

Congratulations to both of you.

November is sweet, enjoy !

Picture of the week - Jeffrey Chan Tin

Today is the day for a new picture of the week after last week's choice was Marvin Ckf. 

This week we decided to choose someone's all-time favorite. His favorite became ours and so, Jeffrey Chan Tin's flowers in black and white ended up here on PAPM's Blog and Facebook group as Picture of the Week. And he was also featured among the best pics of the month during October.

Check out the gallery !

Congratulations to you, Jeffrey !
