This was fun, the first time in years that I've set up rather than "found" a shot. Living in the Boonies, as I do, I didn't have the option to shoot a major arena or anything like that, so I went to the other extreme and shot in my basement.
Playing with the "game" part, wherein the game was strip poker. I'd been thinking about this all week, and started out including chairs, all the clothes, and a pile of aces next to the guy's chair, but settled on this tighter shot since it was less complicated.
Post-proc was pretty simple. A levels layer, a hue/sat layer, NeatImage, and Smart Sharpen.

I see the point of the shot, so I get it. I'm not sure how this will fly with the dpc voters. Either way, your lighting is good, focus and composition. Good luck in the challenge.
Well, this isn't your typical sporting venue (not MINE at least, darn it!), but I think it does technically fit and it's certainly a fun, well-done shot :)
