Coup de Coeur

Before Christmas, we had selected our coup de coeur on PAPM. But due to the festivities, I could not post the pictures on the blog though everything was announced on the group. Here they are now on the PAPM blog.

Zaheer Allam has always proved himself to strive for the best, and always he has shown effort to build up his talent in photography. Last week, his picture of Zarrin, his sister was chosen by us as Coup de Coeur. Congratulations to you Zaheer !

The second Coup de Coeur of admins and officers on PAPM was the picture of Sandeep Doorgah. He works hard too to make beautiful pictures that would catch people's attention and always his images are striking, funny just as the captions of his images. Therefore, for the second week Sandeep you are among our favorites during the week before Christmas. Continue to make more efforts !

Sandeep Doorgah -  A vibrantly colored gecko plays a key role in a highly threatened ecological community in Mauritius.

Our other Coup de Coeur was the portrait of a beautiful model by Michael Boldrini. He may love to photograph powerful images of kids and showing us how life is sometimes unjust but yet beautiful, but when he is not doing that, Michael can deliver amazing and charming portraits that catch everyone's attention. You know how to reveal  how much a woman is one of the most beautiful things on this earth just like a kid's smile. Congratulations !

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 !

Coup de Coeur de la semaine.

Each week, there are so many photographers who add their pictures 

on our Facebook page and it is such a delight for the eye to look at them. 

After selecting the picture of the week, we now move on to the Coup de 

Coeur. There were beautiful pictures who appealed to our emotions 

and we had a tie again. 

So we decided again to publish ex-aequo the pictures of two amazing photographers of PAPM. 

They are :

Congratulations to both of you !
