Ezekiel Holds a Charred Vine Branch Beside a Fire

Prompt

Ezekiel 15: the parable of the vine wood, good for nothing but fuel for the fire. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, crouches large and central beside an open fire in a bare vineyard at sunset, holding up a twisted, useless grapevine branch charred black at both ends and burned in the middle, showing it with a sorrowful face; behind him rows of pruned vines on terraced hills and a few vine cuttings burning in the flames. Glowing golden evening 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.
