Shepherd Boy David Carries a Lamb by Still Water

Prompt

Psalm 23: "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters... though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." The shepherd boy David walks large and central along the grassy bank of a calm, mirror-still pool, his rod and staff in hand and a lamb tucked in the crook of his arm, his face peaceful and trusting. His sheep graze and drink in the lush green pasture around him and follow at his heels. Behind him the path leads on into a deep, narrow rocky valley in cool shadow, its far end lit by warm golden sunlight. Soft late-afternoon light. 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.
