Caleb and Joshua Carry the Grapes of Eshcol

Prompt

Deuteronomy 1: Caleb and Joshua return from the valley of Eshcol carrying the fruit of the promised land. The two spies walk toward the viewer, large and central, a huge cluster of grapes hanging from a wooden pole carried between their shoulders, Caleb also holding pomegranates and figs in a fold of his cloak. Behind them golden hills of Canaan under a clear morning sky; their faces glow with joy and confidence that it is a good land. 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.
