Exiles Read Jeremiah's Letter Beside a Babylonian Canal

Prompt

Jeremiah 29: the prophet's letter from Jerusalem to the exiles: 'Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.' In Babylon beside a canal, a Judean exile elder, large and central, holds an unrolled letter scroll and reads aloud to his family, while beside him his sons plant young fruit trees and a new mud-brick house rises behind them. Warm golden afternoon light, palms and the river. 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.
