Micah Laments Over the Ruins of Samaria

Prompt

Micah 1: "Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons... I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard." The prophet Micah of Moresheth stands large and central on a rocky hilltop, barefoot and clad only in a rough, torn brown sackcloth tunic, his arms flung wide and his head thrown back in a cry of lament; in the valley behind him the city of Samaria lies broken into heaps of tumbled stones with young vines planted among the ruins. Bright, clear morning light, wind in his hair, wide pale sky. 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.
