Ezekiel Wades in the River From the Temple
Ezekiel stands waist-deep in clear water beside a bronze-coloured man holding a measuring line. Fruit trees line the banks, fish swim below, and a temple with falling water stands behind them.
Prompt
Ezekiel 47: waters issue out from under the threshold of the temple eastward and become a river too deep to pass over, with very many trees on its banks on this side and on that. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, wades waist-deep, large and central, in a clear, sparkling, ever-deepening river that flows out from beneath the temple threshold far behind him; at his side the man whose appearance is like bronze, a tall figure gleaming like living polished bronze, wearing a bronze-coloured wrapped head-cloth, holds a measuring line. Both banks are lined with lush fruit trees in leaf and fruit, the water full of fish, and the river winds eastward toward the desert and the sea in radiant morning 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.
