Nostalgic 1980s Cinematic Poster

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact man in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone, same facial hair as the reference. Never beautify or reshape the face.

A nostalgic 1980s cinematic poster: a tree-lined lane in late afternoon - a black rod-brake roadster bicycle leaning on a low wall, the lane dissolving without a seam into an avenue of tamarind running away to a hazy village edge. NEAR, large in the foreground: standing with the roadster at the wall: a cream half-sleeve shirt, dark trousers with cycle clips, closed leather shoes; full body with a clear band of ground under his shoes, one hand on the handlebar, fingers countable, the other pocketed to the knuckles. FAR, smaller and higher, riding away down the avenue: the same shirt, sleeves rolled; riding away down the avenue, both hands on the handlebars, the face turned back over the shoulder, both eyes visible. HAIR on every figure: thick and side-parted, swept clear of the forehead, the hairline exact. LIGHT: warm low sun filtering through the tamarind canopy is the frontal key on every face, the bright road beyond far dimmer. GAZE: the near figure looks out into the scene, face three-quarter with both eyes visible; the far figure candid and absorbed, face frontal or three-quarter with both eyes visible. Vertical 3:4.

COMPOSITE: one continuous cinematic scene, NOT a page of separate photos, NOT an album or scrapbook layout - no panel borders, no frames, no grid, one blended world throughout. Torn-paper edges, film-strip sprockets and one small pinned polaroid of scenery sit at the poster's outer edge as decoration, never as frames around the figures. SAME-PERSON LAW: exactly two figures in the poster, both the same man from the reference and identical in face, never a lookalike. The near figure is large in the foreground, the far one smaller and higher in the mid-ground; they never overlap, never touch, never look at each other, and neither is a reflection or a shadow of the other.

PICTURE QUALITY: strictly 1980s capture, NEVER HD - soft period lens, no digital sharpening, no clarity, no HDR, no pore-level micro-detail, analog grain throughout, faded warm tones, film scratches, a light leak at one corner. ONE LIGHT: the source named in the scene governs the whole poster, near and far figures lit from the same side with the same colour and softness, every face keyed frontally and brightest with clear catchlights. Every face is 1980s-sharp, not digital-sharp: features readable, edges soft; grain, scratches, leak and paper never fall across a face, the background a step under the skin.

One text only: Learning To Fly handwritten in dark ink script in the open sky, spelled exactly L, e, a, r, n, i, n, g, space, T, o, space, F, l, y, clear of every face, touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere - polaroid, screens, signs, bottles and plates carry artwork or plain shapes only.

CHECK: both faces must match the reference exactly.
