Joel Overlooks the Valley of Decision
A man in a woven tunic stands on a rocky ridge with an arm stretched out over a valley filled with armies and tents. The sun and moon hang in a golden sky and a walled city shines on the hill behind him.
Prompt
Joel 3: "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision." The prophet Joel stands large and central on a rocky ridge above the valley of Jehoshaphat, one arm stretched out over it, his face solemn and urgent; far below, the armies of the nations are gathered in the wide valley like a sea of spears and tents, while above them the sun and the moon hang pale in a strange, glowing amber sky, and a brilliant light shines from Zion on the hill behind him. Clear, dramatic golden 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.
