Shepherds Feast While Their Flock Scatters

Prompt

Ezekiel 34: woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves while the flock is scattered on the mountains. In the foreground, large and central, two well-fed shepherds in fine woollen cloaks lounge by a campfire, feasting on roasted meat and drinking from a wineskin, ignoring everything; behind them the thin, frightened sheep of their flock are scattered across the steep rocky mountainsides, one lame lamb limping alone, one sheep stranded on a ledge, and a wolf prowling at the edge. Clear bright late-afternoon light over the hills of Israel. 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.
