Solomon Watches the River Flow into the Sea
King Solomon stands on a grassy headland at sunrise and looks at a river running into the sea.
Prompt
Ecclesiastes 1: All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full. The Preacher, the aged King Solomon in a plain royal mantle and simple gold circlet, stands large and central on a grassy headland at sunrise, the wind tugging at his robe, looking thoughtfully at a river that winds down through a green valley and pours into the shining sea below. The sun is rising over the hills and gulls wheel in the wind. Mood: quiet, wistful wonder at the endless cycle of nature. 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.
