Interesting subject matter and to the contest rules - but the image is a little "still". Perhaps a "stranger" angle or a closeup would have added more interest.

Very bright and vibrant. I like the angle. Off to the side just enough to show the layers and depth.

A bit too soft on the focus.

I've looked at this entry for a couple of days now and have yet to see the subject that is supposed to be framed. Actually I have yet to see a frame for that matter. The photo however is relatively nice and has some good color. I'm not fond of the brightness or the distortion in the trees. Good luck in this challenge.

Definately granular. Fits the challenge perfectly. It really doesn't get any more granular than this. The one issue that I may have with that though is that the sand itself is out of focus. The sand in the background is blurred with DOF and the sand coming out of the shovel is blurred by motion, so we don't really get to see the grains. It's kind of just assumed.
Focus is good on the shovel and I like the way the sand is flowing out of the shovel. Nice effect there. I do wish the label were not present on the shovel.
I like the angle and framing/cropping you chose. I like how the hand is mostly out of the frame.
Colors seem really good and like I said, it's a nice image minus the label and I wish there were more grains in focus.

the sky is unreal looking. the trees are dull and do not appear sharp. the water looks lifeless. If you were trying for some look, i don't get it. My reaction is that your post processing want off track someplace.
