Traveller Looks Over a Thorn-Choked Vineyard

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A man with a staff stands by a broken stone wall and looks at a vineyard overgrown with thorns and thistles, with a green vineyard in the distance.

Prompt

Proverbs 24: I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; and, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. An Israelite traveller with a staff stands large and central at a gap in a tumbled, broken-down stone wall, gazing thoughtfully over a neglected vineyard choked with thorns, thistles and nettles, the vines dead and sprawling. Beyond it a neighbour's well-kept green vineyard and the hills glow under clear afternoon sun. 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.
