This is a great shot! I love the concept for the challenge and it was executed quite nicely. Very, very clever and beautiful.
(Oh yes, and for the record, it seems I voted this one a 9)

WAY cool landscape, and wonderful BW conversion, POV, DOF, etc. But the sand isn't "featured", maybe you want us to look at the composition of the rocks as the granular part. Hmmm.

Ok this one made me laugh. Thsi image has a strong Ansel feel to it IMO. You have an amazing amount of detail and a DOF that goes on forever leaving the rock in the foreground and the mountains in the distance all in perfect focus. Very good composition in a high contrast image. I do feel however that as for is fitting the challenge it is a little to far outside of the box. For granular I would expect macro photography showing of the fine details of a granular substance. The sand and the marbles are granular but you did not realy capture the granular surface well enough to make it the center of intrest. But due to the fact that it is so well done and that is is close to the challenge topic. I wouldn't feel right giving this less than an 8. Very nice job!!

Wonderful long wide angle with sharp focus all the way back. I also like the big rocks that appear to be large granuals falling off into the distance. This is one of my top choices.

very clean photograph and very humoris title. I really like the use of both forground and background to highlight your subjet. only thing is it doesn't really fit the challenge...oh well who cares your getting a high score from me anyway
