Always There!

The Salvation Army organization reaches far beyond the dedicated and devoted bell ringers.
Wikipedia gives an excellent description of this fine organization.

Excellent, wonderful shot. I like the heavy color without an over saturated look, and the glowing edges work well.

@dang: Thank you for taking a look and commenting. There was something about his expression. I wanted a Norman Rockwell look.

Wow the detail is incredible. I love how everything around him is a dreamy haze. I love photos like this, where the subject doesn't know they're being photographed. It's real.
