Greetings from the Critique Club!
First off, I wanted to say welcome to DPC! I notice you registered recently and this is your second challenge so far. Now on to the critique.
Technicals:
I like the lighting. It gives form to your subject's hands and enhances the sand's texture. The color is also good.
Subject/composition:
The way you composed this shot left many (myself included) wondering why you entered this in this particular challenge. There is simply not enough shown here to make it a portrait. However, challenge theme aside I think this is a good study on the kid's hands. As mentioned before the lighting enhances the hands and the sand making it pleasing to view.
The composition is ok but could be better, IMO. I think this might have worked better as a portrait oriented shot so that the hands would be positioned at the top and the sand would fill the rest of the frame. The falling sand would then give the appearance that the frame is filling up with sand. Anyway, just a suggestion. Good luck in the future and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

I expect to see the face of the subject in a portrait shot.
I think a different time of day would have given less harsh lighting. |

| Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment. |
