Taken in a studio setting, with B800 and B400 Alien Bees used as main and fill lights, respectively. Using the PS channel mixer set to monochrome, I reduced the background to white and the fist to shades of gray.
The image was cropped and rotated to its present position. Minor contrast/brightness and usm were done to produce the final image.
My Latin isn't great (...in fact, it's fake), but I thought this sounded better than "Extended Fist of Man".
Oh well, it'll be interesting watching the roller coaster votes come in... Thanks for looking, commenting and/or voting.

I didn't vote in this challenge, but I would have voted this one high. Nice detail and great choice of black and white. I love that the hand is dirty, a working mans hand. Nice shot.
Very good...Like the Hi Key background and the detail and lighting on the subject. Could I get a thumbnail of this to send to the person who just gave me a 3? LOL! .
The title just turned me off before I saw the pic (I must be a sick puppy). BUT I cant wait to see what you did to get the look. I do like the pic tho.
Beautiful light, tone and texture..well done for a high imapct shot in this challenge. but watch your titles: I nearly mis-read this one and couldn't sit down for a week.
Is this a threat? lol. A little blown out at the bottom. Nice subject. Evocative. Nice texture. The subject sits in a nice rectangle that I think you could've broken to make the image more dynamic.
