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.

A new scoop might have made this a little more effective. Also, the hand seems to belong to someone older, not a child.

maybe a child's hand would have done better

could've done w/out the label

composition good, maybe lose the sticker though, and a little more color wouldn't hurt. And to get sturdy sandcastle towers use wetter sand.

not a child's hand, however...

Nice shot, but the sticker on the shovel takes away from it a bit I think.

The tag on the shovel...distracting for the image. If the shovel were to be reversed (perhaps the photo shot from the tagless side) it would've made a difference in the image.
