David Rests Against the Rock in Trust
David sits with his back against a large rock and his eyes closed. A leaning stone wall stands nearby.
Prompt
Psalm 62: "Truly my soul waits on God: from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved... as a bowing wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence." King David sits in quiet stillness at the foot of a massive, solid outcrop of golden limestone, his back against the rock, his hands resting open on his knees and his eyes closed in calm, waiting trust. He is large and central. A little way off, an old crumbling field wall of stacked stones leans and tilts, about to fall. Soft, peaceful early-morning light and a clear pale sky over the Judean hills. 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.
