Shot on Light table. Used a lampshade ( that's a pyramid shape except for the top is cut off) as a tent. pop up on camera flash (-2 stops) positioned outside shade at top left. 60w bulb on right. Foil on left. Manual Mode. Hand held.
Post prosessing, I used an Action I made that sharpens it by using the Lightness Channel while in Lab Color mode.

Huh? I don't get the connection to battle of the sexes. Ok, just in case I am dense. The image is really pretty neat, clear and cool! (Which is why you are getting a 4 not a 1 from me!)
A well executed image technically but I'm afraid you lost me on the connection to the challenge. (The title just makes me even more confused)...I am trying to understand it but can't seem to get it :/
I like this concept, but the lighting is flat on a profiled subject and thus the entire thing looks two-dimensional. I love the finesse, sharp, even focus, good definition of color and tones. A light turn of the wrench one way or the other would have upped the finish on this one.
