David Stands on a High Rock Above an Enemy Camp
A man with a staff stands on a high rock at sunset, calm and looking upward, while an enemy camp with small fires lies in the valley below.
Prompt
Psalm 27: "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?... Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear... he shall set me up on a rock." David stands on top of a great high rock in the wilderness at sunset, bathed in brilliant warm golden light, his staff in hand and his face calm, brave and full of trust. He is large and central. Far below him in the darkening valley, an enemy army has pitched its tents in a wide ring, their small campfires beginning to glow. The sky above him is clear and luminous gold and rose. 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.
