I think that for me, I've always found the intensity of those who are perfect at what they do astonishing, electrifying -- but not attractive in a personal sense; I have a desire to observe, and be an observer; the desire to be privileged to be part of the audience, but I have no like desire to spend time with the person -- in fact, no sense at all of the person behind the talent; the talent itself is everything in the moment of witnessing.
So I would probably classify that as beauty, for some greater value of beauty, in the odd way I look at the world. Attractive to me and in this case * always has to be something more personal, some connection that implies that the person is in reach, can be spoken to, touched, approached.
*I feel a need to add this disclaimer because I do realize that this is a particular to me worldview.
