Prompt

Zechariah 1: "I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white." In a moonlit hollow full of dark-green flowering myrtle bushes, the prophet Zechariah, wearing a simple wrapped head cloth, stands large and central in awe, while before him a radiant angelic rider with great white feathered wings sits on a powerful red horse among the myrtles, and behind him wait a red horse, a dappled sorrel horse and a white horse. Luminous silver-blue night with a soft golden glow from the angel, crisp and clear, not murky. 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.
