Jethro Advises Moses at the Tent

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

An old white-bearded man and a younger man sit together at a tent door, the younger resting a hand on the elder's arm as he speaks. Mountains rise behind.

Prompt

Exodus 18: Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, sees Moses judging the people alone from morning until evening and counsels him to choose able men to share the burden. Jethro and Moses sit together large and central at the entrance of a goat-hair tent, Jethro leaning in with a hand on Moses' arm, earnestly advising, Moses listening thoughtfully, weary but grateful. The mount of God rises behind the camp in warm afternoon light; the mood is wise, warm and fatherly. 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.
