An Old Man Plants an Olive Sapling

Prompt

Ecclesiastes 3: To every thing there is a season: a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. In a sunlit Judean field, a white-bearded old farmer in a brown wool tunic kneels large and central, pressing the earth around a young olive sapling, while his small grandson pours water from a clay jar beside him. Behind them a great old olive tree stands with fallen leaves around its roots, and in the distance golden barley is being harvested. Warm late-afternoon light; the gentle feeling of generations and seasons turning. 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.
