Black Beard

This very handsome man was swimming in our hotel pool - I caught him in a moment of relaxation on the opposite side of where we were sitting so the focus isn’t great, and his beard ended up looked like a mask.

Great physique.

[Mags]

Great candid! It does look like a mask.

[Lesley]

Great shot! His beard looks painted on! (I nearly said “what beard” 😊)

[Carole Sandford]

It does rather look like a mask.

[Kitty Hawke]

haha.....I thought he was wearing a mask too !

[Bill Davidson]

Nice candid.

[Pat Knowles]

Wow so completely original. I too thought it was a mask. Really striking photo. I think he would really like that photo as it shows his apps off if that’s the word!!

[Dawn]

Nice candid

[Diana]

Amazing candid, you sure have a good eye for the unusual!

Cool shot that tells a story.

[Kathy]

The beard almost doesn't look real. But a good look at this fellow.

[Paula Fontanini]

Lovely capture

[John Falconer]

Great shot. I was trying to work out what was on his face!! The beard!!

What a physique! Is that really a beard? It almost looks too plasticky or vinyl-like to be a beard… I wonder if it’s not some kind of swimming mask he wears for training or something. Something appears to be strapped around his ear, too.

I’ve seen runners here wear training masks, similar to this:

but I’m not at all sure if this would be applicable to swimmers, too.

Interesting capture. Love those lithe smooth athletic arms!
