Shepherds Find the Baby Jesus in the Manger

Prompt

Luke 2: the shepherds find Mary, Joseph and the newborn baby Jesus lying in a manger in Bethlehem. Mary, large and central, kneels beside a simple stone-and-wood feeding trough lined with straw where the baby Jesus lies wrapped in swaddling clothes; Joseph stands close behind her holding a clay oil lamp; two humble shepherds with crooks kneel at the near side in wonder, a lamb at their feet. A rough limestone stable-cave with an ox and a donkey in the soft background, warm golden lamplight filling the scene, a glimpse of the starry night sky through the opening. Quiet, tender joy and awe. The shepherds 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.
