Noah Receives the Dove with an Olive Leaf

Noah leans from the ark's window and reaches out his hands to a white dove carrying an olive leaf. Receding water and distant mountains shine in the sunset.

Prompt

Genesis 8: the dove returns to Noah in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Noah leans out of the open wooden window of the ark, large and close, gently reaching out his hands to receive the white dove, his face full of hope and relief. Behind him the receding floodwaters shine under a clearing golden sky, mountain tops just appearing. The mood is peaceful, tender and hopeful. 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.
