Judah's Captives Grind at the Millstone

Prompt

Lamentations 5: They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. Captive young men of Judah, large and central, push a heavy stone millstone round under the eye of a Babylonian overseer, sweat on their brows, while a boy staggers beneath a heavy bundle of firewood beside them; in the distance foxes walk over the desolate ruins of Mount Zion. Hot bright afternoon sun, a mood of weariness and longing. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
