Levite Blows the Shofar at the New Moon
A Levite blows a ram's horn on a hilltop at dusk while a young woman plays a timbrel and an older man plays a harp. A thin crescent moon hangs above the city.
Prompt
Psalm 81: Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, on our solemn feast day. A Levite stands large and central on a hilltop above Jerusalem at dusk, lifting a long curved ram's-horn shofar to his lips and blowing it toward the sky, while beside him a young woman strikes a timbrel and an older man plays a harp. A thin silver crescent new moon hangs in the glowing rose-and-gold evening sky above the city walls below. Joyful, festive, solemn. 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.
