Ezekiel Prophesies to the Valley of Dry Bones
Ezekiel stands with raised arms in a valley as bones join and men rise from the ground in a golden wind.
Prompt
Ezekiel 37: in the valley of dry bones Ezekiel prophesies, and the bones come together, bone to his bone, and breath comes into them. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, stands large and central in a wide sunlit valley, arms raised, prophesying to the four winds with awe on his face; around him the dry, sun-bleached bones on the valley floor are rising and joining together, sinews and flesh forming over some of them, while nearer figures are already standing up as living men in simple tunics, breathing and wondering; a great rushing wind sweeps golden dust and light through the valley. Bright, hopeful golden light, not gruesome. 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.
