watch Testing Explosion With After Effects

Looks good. A little large for a hand grenade. Ditto on adding in a little camera shake. Go a little tighter on the roto to have subtle light wrap from the explosion. If a few frames could see space between people and fire.
Overall good job.
 
Thank you for your comments guys! I'm not sure about the shaking but thank you for the tip jmoshner! And it's not a grenade it's a piece of wood :P
 
I'd like to see the grass go a bit dirty at the epicenter... perhaps grow a feathered oval solid out from the center of the explosion just on the grass for a ways with a darker center (scorching) and a feathered edge that moves toward brown on the outside (dirt kicked up and dropped). You could apply these as multiply or something to get it to blend right and adjust the opacity, but it should add a bit more reality to the bottom bit of the explosion... maybe some chunky noise in the brown oval as well to look like bits of dirt or something.
