Cute little old man at Sawgrass Lake Park in St. Petersburg Florida. He was sitting by himself watching the water but seemed like he was waiting for someone. I got a lot of dirty looks from him too.

Good composition, but the focus looks just a touch off.

Nice old timer on bench candid, possibly needed some playinga round with the contrast in the B&W conversion to make it pop more

A little pushed in the ISO causing detail loss.

Nice capture, too much grey...maybe a levels adjust for blacks to make the image pop more. Possibly more contrast as well.

Beautiful composition. I love the feeling of isolation, of waiting. I think an adjustment levels layer setting your black point on the darkest part of the bench would improve the b/w tones, maybe a slight sharpening on the man and bench only. Very nice candid shot!
