Jesus Heals the Blind Man at Bethsaida

Prompt

Mark 8: Jesus heals the blind man of Bethsaida. Outside the village, on a dusty path under a wide sky, Jesus stands face to face with a blind man, large and central, laying both hands upon the man's eyes a second time; the man, head tilted up, is beginning to see clearly, wonder breaking across his face as he first sees men "as trees, walking." A few olive trees and the low stone houses of Bethsaida behind, bright clear morning light. The blind man wears 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.
