Prompt

Ezekiel 18: "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge" - the proverb the LORD rejects, for each soul answers for its own way. In a sunlit vineyard of Judah, a bearded father sits large and central on a low stone wall eating a cluster of hard, unripe green grapes, while his young son beside him winces and holds his jaw, teeth on edge; the father looks at the boy, startled and thoughtful. Green vines, terraced hills and a bright summer sky behind them. 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.
