Aged Solomon Walks Alone Along the Rampart at Sunset

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A crowned old king in a richly embroidered robe walks with his head bowed along a stone wall. His long shadow stretches ahead of him as the sun sets over Jerusalem's hills.

Prompt

Ecclesiastes 6: For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? The aged King Solomon, the Preacher, in his royal mantle and gold circlet, is walking slowly on foot, alone, along a high stone rampart path at sunset, seen large and central from the side, head bowed in thought. The low sun behind him throws his long dark shadow far ahead of him across the warm pale stones of the path. No throne, no attendants. Beyond him the hills around Jerusalem glow orange and pink. Mood: reflective, melancholy, beautiful. 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.
