Jeremiah Points from a Cracked Cistern to a Spring

Prompt

Jeremiah 2: 'they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.' Jeremiah stands large and central beside a cracked, empty rock-hewn cistern, pointing back toward a clear spring that gushes from the rocks behind him and sparkles in the sun. His face is full of grief and pleading. Bright midday light over the dry Judean hills. 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.
