Zechariah Prays for Rain in a Barley Field

Prompt

Zechariah 10: "Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field." In a wide green field of young barley on the hills of Judah, the prophet Zechariah, wearing a simple wrapped head cloth and brown mantle, stands large and central with his face and open hands lifted joyfully to the sky as a gentle spring shower falls on him, every raindrop glittering in sunlight that breaks through brilliant white billowing clouds; a rainbow arches faintly over the hills and a farmer with his ox looks up gladly nearby. Fresh, luminous spring light, vivid greens and blues. The men wear wrapped turbans or 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.
