Jesus Prays with Tears Among the Olive Trees
Jesus kneels beside a large rock with clasped hands and tears, looking up at a beam of light in an olive grove at night. Sleeping men are faintly seen behind.
Prompt
Hebrews 5: In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard. Jesus kneels large and central beside a great rock among ancient gnarled olive trees in the garden of Gethsemane at night, hands clasped, face lifted in earnest prayer, tears on his cheeks. A soft beam of heavenly light falls on him from above; moonlit blue night with a warm glow on his face; reverent and intense, no blood. 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.
