Nice shot but I think it would have benefited from a high POV such as taken from the top of a latter looking down. That would have put all the focus on what was going on at the same time eliminating the distracting background of cars.

Not really a great entry for a challenge - too 'snapshot'.Doesn't show off any skills as a photographer (even the composition was off).

Here's my issue...(and this is something that you probably couldn't control.)

The fact that these guys are standing in front of a parking lot makes this seem like a snapshot for the 4H scrapbook.

I get that you couldn't do much about that fact, but some dof play might have helped camoflauge the fact.

Other than that, the colors and lighting are great...I appreciate the naturalness of it.

good job capturing the forgotten heros in 'greening' the planet - the shot itself is well lit and the fact that both men are holding the sapling shows a bit of unity of purpose. I am just not found of the harsh crop on the man on the left
