I guess the \"Sporting venue\" varies from person to person, and after reading this I saw my mess left from my last gaming venture,and I consider it a sporting venue think about it \"Video GAMES\" so what the hey....

Reminds me of my sons' rooms. I've seen this same thing before...deja vu all over again. ;)
Composition of the image is very cluttered (no pun intended); there is really nowhere for the eye to rest (a main focal point). Giving voters too much to look at in the few seconds voters give images is a sure way to get mediocre scores. I think that if this had been taken at an angle other than from standing position (eye level) it might have more of a dynamic appeal.
Serious 360 in this house and we are waiting on the WII. I get this but not sure all voters will. We are playing the new Splinter Cell double agent. Best of luck in the challenge.
There's too much going on here. The picture is very busy & although I "get" that you want some stuff in there, there are a lot of distracting elements and lack of focal point.
while technically you met the challenge - this is a photography contest. Taking a quick snapshot of your messy room makes it hard for me to give you a very good score. 1
I hand't thought of a games console as being a "sporting venue" but you are right - a good interpretation. As for the shot though, it's just a snapshot of your bedroom isn't it? 5
No wonder the waistline of many is expanding when we consider video games to be a sport. Cute, but sorry, not really buying into this meeting the spirit/theme of the challenge.
I didn't realize video games were considered a sport, but I guess it could work.
Details: Your challenge this week is deceptively simple: photograph a sporting venue after the game is over and the players and people have gone home :-)
surely, it's after the game! after "HALO 2" or any other game... or maybe you were watching a TV-translation of a match.
but, hey, I think it's merely a camera testing snapshot!
