Love it!

But you need to round off the corners to complete the B&W TV look.

A bit of vignetting will work perfectly…

Nice shot by the way!

Looks like your camera has some banding issues.   ;D

Maybe you can fix it in post.

Cool one "band" is going right over the eyes.

Nice work Bob. I guess you deliberately chose to cover his eyes. Kind of eerie, a prelude to the Twilight Zone.

You hit it on the head; I was thinking of the Twighlight Zone! And yes, I wanted the character to be unrecognizable. I am wary of photographing strangers. So, I am working on getting around that by experimenting with occlusions.

I don't think I would have the nerve to take that kind of photograph in that setting. Too many people get into trouble for taking pictures of strangers or kids. Not worth the trouble for me. At least the mirrorless cameras have a silent mode for those wanting to take street images.
