A Farming Couple Laughs in the Harvest Field

Prompt

Psalm 65: "You visit the earth, and water it... You crown the year with your goodness... The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing." At harvest time in a lush Judean valley, a young Israelite farmer and his wife stand large and central in a field of ripe golden barley, laughing with joy as he lifts a great sheaf high in his arms and she holds a sickle and a basket. Behind them the green hillsides are dotted with white flocks, a full stream sparkles through the valley, and the last silver rain clouds are clearing to bright afternoon sunshine. 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.
