Nathan Points at David and Says Thou Art the Man
Nathan stands with his arm outstretched, pointing at King David. David sits on his throne with a hand pressed to his chest.
Prompt
2 Samuel 12: After telling the parable of the poor man's one little ewe lamb, the prophet Nathan points at King David and says, "Thou art the man." Nathan stands large in the frame, arm outstretched with his finger pointing straight at the king, his face stern and sorrowful. King David, in rich royal robes and heavy gold crown, sits on his throne, large and central, recoiling, his angry expression collapsing into stricken realization and guilt, one hand clutching his chest. A royal throne room of stone and cedar with a shaft of bright late-morning light falling across them; intense, convicting moment. 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.
