Naaman Rises Healed from the Jordan
Naaman stands waist-deep in the river looking at his wet hands, with attendants holding his cloak and armour on the bank and a chariot behind.
Prompt
2 Kings 5: Naaman the Syrian commander rises from the Jordan River after dipping the seventh time, healed of his leprosy. Naaman, large and central, stands waist-deep in the clear green-brown water of the Jordan, stripped of his armour, gazing in astonishment at his own outstretched arms, his skin now clean and fresh like a child's. Water streams from him and sparkles in the sun. On the reedy bank behind him his servants hold his armour, cloak and sword, and his chariot and horses wait under the tamarisk trees. Brilliant clear morning light. 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.
