Priest Keeps the Altar Fire Burning at Dawn

Prompt

Leviticus 6: A priest keeps the fire on the altar burning, for it shall never go out. In the stillness before dawn a priest in white linen garments stands close beside the great bronze altar, laying split wood upon the glowing fire, its flames lighting his face in warm orange. Behind him the sky over the desert camp turns from deep blue to the first pale gold of morning, with the tabernacle in silhouette. Luminous contrast of firelight and dawn 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.
