Moses Shielded in the Cleft of the Rock

Prompt

Exodus 33: Moses prays, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory, and the LORD puts him in a cleft of the rock and covers him while his glory passes by. Moses crouches large and central inside a narrow cleft of red granite, one arm shielding his eyes, his face lit by an overwhelming radiance, as a river of dazzling white-gold light and glory streams past the opening of the rock; there is no human figure of God, only light. The rugged mountainside glows in the brilliance; the mood is intimate, overwhelming and holy. 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.
