The Great Eagle Takes the Cedar Top

Prompt

Ezekiel 17: the riddle of the great eagle that crops the top of the cedar of Lebanon. A magnificent great eagle with vast wings, long pinions and richly coloured feathers fills the upper and middle frame, large and central, flying over the snowy peaks and green slopes of Lebanon, gripping in its talons the cropped top sprig of a tall cedar tree; below it a low spreading grapevine on a hillside turns its branches toward it. Brilliant clear daylight and blue sky. 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.
