@Ian Bramham: A soft halo effect was added to create the mood.
... or is this HDR? I love the softness of this too! It sets the mood for the elderly person.

Because his head is bent, he could be feeling alone but think he could be enjoying a moment of total peace in that surroundings....I could sit on a bench all day if they would let me.

how did you achieve the soft halo effect? Was it after tools ps? This picture really reminds me of a painting! Everything seems to stop and pose while the artist sketches! Great Photo!
