Prompt

2 Chronicles 6: King Solomon stands upon the bronze platform he made, five cubits square and three cubits high, in the middle of the temple court, kneels down before all the congregation of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward heaven in his prayer of dedication. Solomon, crowned and in royal robes, is large and central, kneeling on the raised square bronze platform with both arms spread wide toward the sky, his face lifted in earnest prayer; behind him rises the temple porch with its two great bronze pillars and the bronze altar of burnt offering to one side; the people below are only a soft blur at the edges. Brilliant golden sunlight streaming down from a clear blue sky; a holy, hopeful mood. 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.
