Freed Man Stands Among Fruit Trees
A young man stands with open arms and his face lifted in joy in an orchard of pomegranates, figs, grapes and olives. Broken shackles lie on the ground at his feet.
Prompt
Galatians 5: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free... the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace." A freed slave, a young man, stands large and central at the edge of a sunlit orchard, the broken iron shackles just fallen from his wrists lying at his feet, his arms opening wide and his face lifted in tearful joy and peace. Around him the orchard is heavy with ripe fruit, pomegranates, figs, grapes and olives, glowing in warm golden morning light under a clear sky. The man wears a simple tunic and a wrapped head-cloth over his 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.
