Moses Stretches His Rod as Locusts Come Over Egypt
Moses holds out his staff as a swarm of locusts fills the sky over a field. Palm trees and a man stand behind him.
Prompt
Exodus 10: Moses stretches forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the east wind brings the locusts. Moses stands large and central in a green field of Egypt, mantle whipping in the wind, rod held out, as a vast swirling cloud of locusts pours across the sky behind him toward the palm trees and fields. Warm golden sunlight breaks through the swarm; the mood is overwhelming and awesome. 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.
