Prompt

1 Samuel 25: Abigail, hurrying to stop David's vengeance on her foolish husband Nabal, gets down from her donkey and bows at David's feet with gifts of food. Abigail kneels large and central on the hillside path, her veil and mantle flowing, hands open in humble appeal, her face wise and earnest. David, the armed fugitive leader with his sword at his side, stands close before her, his anger melting into surprise and respect, a few of his armed men behind him. Beside her, donkeys laden with baskets of bread, raisins, fig cakes and wineskins. Rolling hills of Carmel in warm golden late-afternoon light; peacemaking, graceful mood. 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.
