'They hanged a tree and now they are covering the tracks' - I'd call it that. Humans are two small to call this a candid and tree's facial expression is obscured by shadow. Although I can feel there's pain in its face....

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

This is ok, but seems to be more about tree planting then a candid. I would think I could see this in a gardening magazine, but as a candid, I just don't really get much interest from it. I see little in the faces of the planters and too much going on around them takes away from that, as well as them being too small in the shot. It's a 3 for me.

It's a pretty nice moment, but you need to get into the idea of cropping, and do something about submission dimensions and size: on a high-res monitor even the full size images are a bit small for impact. This could have used some processing all round really, to give it a bit of ping - but as I said, the basic thing, taking the actual shot, is there.
