Sleeping Sluggard Beside Ants Carrying Grain
A man sleeps under a tree in a wheat field with his sickle on the ground. Ants carry grains of wheat across a flat stone in the foreground.
Prompt
Proverbs 6: Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. In a golden wheat field at harvest time a lazy man in a rumpled tunic lies fast asleep in the shade of a tree, arms folded, his sickle dropped beside him and his sheaves uncut. Large in the foreground on a flat sunlit stone beside him, a busy line of ants carries grains of wheat toward their nest, shown in crisp close detail. Bright summer afternoon light. 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.
