Aaron Strikes the Nile and It Turns to Blood

Prompt

Exodus 7: at the river's brink, Aaron lifts his rod and strikes the waters of the Nile, and the river turns deep red as blood, in the sight of Pharaoh. Aaron and Moses stand large and central on the riverbank, rod raised high, while Pharaoh watches from behind in shocked anger. The wide crimson river stretches away under a bright morning sky with papyrus at its edges; the mood is dramatic and awesome. 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.
