Jesus Praying in the Jordan as the Dove Descends

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Jesus stands waist-deep in the river with his hands clasped and his face lifted, while John the Baptist raises a hand beside him. A white dove descends in a beam of light.

Prompt

Luke 3: the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. Jesus, large and central, stands waist-deep in the clear river water, praying with his face lifted upward, as the heavens open above him in a shaft of brilliant golden light and the Holy Spirit descends in bodily shape like a pure white dove. John the Baptist, in his rough camel-hair garment and leather girdle, stands beside him in the water with one hand raised, gazing up in awe. Reeds and green banks of the Jordan and the Judean wilderness hills behind, bright morning light glittering on the water. 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.
