Titus Ordains an Elder in Crete

Prompt

Titus 1: 'For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city.' On a sunlit terrace in a Cretan hill town above the sea, Titus lays his hands on the head of a kneeling, faithful older believer being ordained an elder, while the man's wife and grown children and a few believers look on reverently. Titus and the kneeling elder are large and central. Whitewashed stone houses, olive trees and the deep blue Mediterranean below, bright morning light. The kneeling man and other men wear wrapped head-cloths over their hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
