Jeremiah Points Down the Old Path

Prompt

Jeremiah 6: 'Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein.' Jeremiah stands large and central at a crossroads in the Judean hills, pointing earnestly down an ancient worn footpath that leads toward a sunlit valley, while a small group of travellers stop and look but hesitate. Clear warm late-morning light, olive trees and terraces. 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.
