Ok so now am completely confused. Though that this was a feminine form; just a very toned woman and now after reading all the other comments and looking at the pic again, seems like it could after all be a masculine body. Either way, its a great shot Michael.

Cheers, Vikas.

The waist and butt seem feminine, but the shoulders and arms, masculine. I believe it's arm hair that I'm seeing, just above the left elbow, so I'm going with masculine. I think the thing is that the arm is cropping off the torso to make it look very slim and curvy, hence the feminine aspect. Is it a good or bad thing to be gender bending? Good - b/c it is causing commentary? Or bad, b/c you've made a man look like a woman, which is breaking the rules, unless you intended to break them. Is he happy with the shot? I would think not; unless he is a feminine man. Either way, it's a beautiful human form, IMO. :) ~ Lonnit

I still can't tell the gender of the model (not that it matters). Beautiful picture. Great use of light.

If I use my browser to cut off the top third of the image...I could not tell the gender of the model. Even so, I had trouble until I studied the upper back and arms. Lovely image, evocative and really flatters the human form well. Best Wishes, Traveller
