Daniel Stands Unharmed Among the Lions

Prompt

Daniel 6: Daniel in the lions' den. The aged Daniel, large and central, stands calm and unharmed in the stone pit of the lions' den at dawn with his hands raised in thanks, while great lions lie peacefully around him with their mouths shut; beside him stands a clearly winged angel glowing with soft light. Above, through the opening at the top of the den, King Darius leans down anxiously, calling to him. Shafts of golden morning light fall into the den, a mood of deliverance. 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.
