It amazes me the number of the 'older' generation who swim almost all year round.
I asked this guy if I could take his photo this morning at the rock pool.
He kindly obliged.

Geoff - this one very fine portrait.
The pose, lighting and treatment have all worked to produce this beautiful result.

Nice image Geoff....but I suspect the colour version could be even better?

Are you kidding me Geoff - that guys only 25
Nut clenching always makes you look a lot older.
A fine capture indeed but I will echo Matt’s comment on colour.

Thanks guys, here's the colour version.
I'm going through a passion for B&W portraits at the moment I think;

Hmmm. Now I'm not so sure. I like them both.

Geoff I really like this image and prefer the B & W. For some reason in the colour one I read the Speedo writing on his swimmers and it distracts me, but I don't notice it on the B & W version. Hope that makes sense

I also think this is a great portrait. I prefer the B+W as well. I find the colour a little too blue and the B+W has a nice feel of times gone by when people appreciated things more, and didn't let something like the cold get in the way!

I like the B&W version. I think the light enhances the skin tones in the B&W version
