The Apostles Watch Jesus Ascend from the Mount of Olives

Prompt

Acts 1: the ascension of Jesus from the Mount of Olives; "while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight", and "they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up". Composition seen from slightly behind and below the apostles: in the foreground Peter and John and the other apostles stand on the green hilltop with their backs and shoulders toward the viewer and their faces in profile, all heads tilted far back, every one of them gazing straight up at Jesus, some with arms raised toward him. Above them in the upper centre, directly in their line of sight, Jesus rises into the bright sky with his arms lifted in blessing as a luminous white cloud begins to receive him. Clear morning light, olive trees, Jerusalem's walls faint in the distance. The apostles other than Peter and John wear head-cloths. 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.
