A Proud Teacher Points at a Kneeling Man

Prompt

Romans 2: "Thou that judgest another, condemnest thyself." In a sunlit Roman street, a proud, richly dressed teacher of the law stands large and central, holding a Torah scroll under one arm and pointing an accusing finger down at a humble, ragged man kneeling with bowed head before him; but a bright beam of golden light falls from above on both men alike, and the proud man's face begins to falter as he realizes he too stands before God's judgment. Simple plastered walls and an open sky. Both 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.
