Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A crowned king sits on his throne listening to a bowing elder, with a silver open-work bowl of golden apples on the table between them.

Prompt

Proverbs 25: A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. In his palace hall King Solomon, in rich royal robes and a gold crown, sits large and central, listening with delight to an elderly counsellor in a grey mantle who bows slightly and speaks with an open hand; on a low table between them gleams an ornate open-work silver bowl filled with shining golden apples. Sunlight streams through a high window across cedar-panelled walls in the clear late morning. 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.
