A Priest Blesses Farmers Beside a Wheat Field

Prompt

Psalm 67: "God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine on us... Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us." An elderly grey-bearded Israelite priest in a white linen robe and turban stands at the edge of a ripening wheat field at sunrise, both hands raised in blessing over a small group of farmers and their children who bow their heads before him. The priest and the nearest family are large and central. Behind them the golden fields roll away to the hills, and the rising sun spreads warm, radiant light over the whole land. 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.
