David Sings Praise to the Lord on a Crag
An older king stands on a rocky height holding a lyre and raising one hand toward the sky. Sunbeams break through dark clouds above hills and a river valley.
Prompt
2 Samuel 22: Delivered from all his enemies, David sings to the LORD, "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer." King David stands large and central on a high crag of rock above a deep valley, holding a wooden lyre against his chest with one hand and lifting the other toward the sky, his face radiant with gratitude and praise, his royal mantle blowing in the wind. Behind him dark storm clouds are breaking apart and brilliant golden sunbeams pour through the gap onto him, with no figure in the light. A rugged mountain stronghold and distant hills below; triumphant, worshipful 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.
