Prompt

Leviticus 27: The tithe of the flock, whatsoever passes under the rod, is holy unto the LORD. A shepherd stands large at the narrow opening of a stone sheepfold holding his staff low over the sheep as they pass one by one beneath it, touching the tenth sheep with the rod to set it apart for the LORD. Rocky hills and a soft sky behind. Gentle early-morning light, calm and devout. 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.
