The Watchman Blows the Trumpet on the Wall
A watchman on a stone wall blows a ram's horn and points at a dust cloud of horsemen far across the valley.
Prompt
Ezekiel 33: the watchman on the wall sees the sword come upon the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people. A watchman of Israel, large and central, stands on top of a stone city wall tower, cheeks full, blowing a long curved ram's horn trumpet with all his strength, one hand pointing out over the parapet; far off across the green valley a dust cloud of approaching enemy horsemen and spears glints in the sun. Bright clear morning light, wide blue sky. 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.
