Watchman on Jerusalem Wall Over the Silent Assyrian Camp

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A helmeted watchman stands on the city wall at sunrise looking over an abandoned camp with still horses and empty chariots. Broken bows, arrows and a sword lie on the rampart.

Prompt

Psalm 76: There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword; at thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. A Judean watchman in a bronze helmet stands large and central on the stone battlements of Jerusalem at sunrise, his spear lowered, gazing in awe over the silent camp of the Assyrian army in the valley, where the war chariots stand abandoned and the horses lie still. On the rampart beside him lie broken bows, snapped arrows, a cracked shield and a dropped sword. Golden dawn light, hushed and awe-struck mood. 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.
