A Rich Man Honoured While a Poor Man Stands

Prompt

James 2: 'If there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment...' In a sunlit first-century meeting room, a richly dressed man with a gold ring and fine purple-edged robe is being ushered to a cushioned seat of honour, while beside him, large in the foreground, a poor man in a ragged, patched cloak stands humbly by the wall, told to stand there; his face shows quiet hurt. Warm daylight through a high window, simple stone benches; a clear contrast between them. 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.
