Malachi at Sunrise With Altar, Tithe and Refiner's Fire

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Malachi stands before a rising sun over Jerusalem. Below are priests at an altar with lambs, a man carrying a basket of produce, a refiner at a fire, running calves, and a father embracing his son.

Prompt

The book of Malachi as a cinematic film poster. The prophet Malachi stands on the Judean hills at dawn as an enormous golden sun rises behind him, its rays spreading like healing wings across the land. Below: priests at a neglected altar offering blemished lambs; a farmer bringing a full tithe into the storehouse as the windows of heaven open with blessing; a refiner's fire purifying silver; calves leaping from the stall. A father and son embracing. Brilliant sunrise gold. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film or a film poster. 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 on the main figures, subtle film grain. Composition like a movie one-sheet in portrait format: the main figures large and close in the upper and middle frame, the book's major events unfolding smaller behind and around them. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern or first-century clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large title can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
