It does meet the challenge, and exposure/focus are fine, so I would have given the shot a 5 or 6 on that basis. The biggest issues are that the subject matter is rather dull (to me, anyway), and the desaturation doesn't really serve much purpose for this type of shot. The subject stands out with composition alone, so it's not really the sort of "red dress in a crowd" situation that would justify the technique (in retrospect, my own entry falls into this category). If entered in any other challenge, people would be asking why you desaturated. Also, the focus seems a little soft (maybe from resizing), and the subject's feet are white- either a PS error or a drawback of using Achilles' Tanning Salon. ;-)
BTW- I lived in the Greenville area until I was 13, so I might have actually used this pool.
