Elderly Man and Woman Mourn Among Jerusalem Ruins

Prompt

Psalm 79: O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. An elderly Levite and a young woman kneel large and central among the blackened, tumbled stones of Jerusalem after the Babylonian sack, the old man lifting his hands and face to heaven crying How long, LORD?, the woman bowed beside him with her head-veil drawn across her face. Behind them thin smoke rises from broken walls and the burned ruin of the temple on the hill under an amber evening sky. Grief-stricken but luminous. 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.
