A Family Sings Praise on a Mountain at Sunset
An old man, a man blowing a ram's horn, a woman with a harp and a child sing with faces lifted. Deer, sheep and birds gather near them under the setting sun and a pale moon.
Prompt
Psalm 148: Praise ye him, sun and moon... Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: beasts, and all cattle; flying fowl... both young men, and maidens; old men, and children. On a high mountain meadow among great cedars, an old man, a young man blowing a ram's horn, a maiden playing a harp and a small child stand large and central, singing praise with faces lifted, while deer, sheep and birds gather around them and both the setting sun and the pale rising moon shine in the glowing sky. Exultant and harmonious. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
