This was taken about a half hour into a fairly small but not really all that quiet Fourth-of-July parade. At least the set of shots of the sleeping child was. The child and wagon by themselves didn't tell the story, so I added the spectator feet in the top left and the girl on the right from parts of shots taken earlier and later in the parade.

iPhone 5s, ISO 50, three-exposure HDRs with 2 EV increments
processing highlights
A leg and shoe (of the person whose shadow is above the wagon on the left) were removed from the main shot, and the shadow of the girl on the right were added.
Topaz Simplify (two saved presets), Alien Skin Snap Art (two saved presets), Fractalius (three saved presets), and Nik Color Efex (Darken/Lighten Center, and Classical Soft Focus) were the plug-ins used.
A masked copy of the child before any processing beyond the Camera Raw filter was piled on top of those layers.
On top of that are two Joel Olives textures to add a sleepy blue and a violet vignette with a central highlight.
