Solomon Carried in a Palanquin Through the Wilderness

Prompt

Song of Solomon 3: Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense? Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it. Young King Solomon, crowned with a gold crown, sits large and central in a splendid palanquin of cedar wood with silver posts, a golden canopy and purple cushions, carried on the shoulders of bearers along a desert road. Around him march armed guards with swords at their thighs, and plumes of incense smoke rise into the bright golden air. Desert hills behind; triumphant, festive mood. 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.
