Elihu Points Job to the Clouds
Elihu rests a hand on Job's shoulder and points to towering white clouds. Job, in torn sackcloth with sores on his arms, looks up.
Prompt
Job 35: Elihu tells Job: look to the heavens and see, and behold the clouds which are higher than you; if you sin, what do you against him? If you are righteous, what do you give him? Elihu, in his rust-red tunic, striped cream-and-brown mantle and wrapped brown-and-ochre head cloth, stands large and central beside Job, one hand on Job's shoulder and the other arm stretched upward pointing at immense, brilliant white cumulus clouds towering into a deep blue sky; Job, in torn sackcloth with sores on his arms, tilts his head back to look up, humbled. Bright midday sunlight, a wide open plain far below. 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.
