Prompt

Daniel 10: The man clothed in linen by the great river Hiddekel. The aged Daniel, large and central, has sunk to his knees and the palms of his hands on the bank of the Tigris, trembling, as a mighty angel with great shining wings stands before him above the water, clothed in gleaming linen with a belt of fine gold, his body like beryl, his face bright as lightning and his eyes like lamps of fire, his arms and feet like polished bronze; the angel reaches down a hand to touch him. In the distance Daniel's companions flee in fear. Blazing brilliant light over the wide river, reeds and palms. 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.
