Prompt

Proverbs 3: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and he shall direct thy paths. A middle-aged Israelite traveller, a merchant with a wrapped striped head-cloth, a staff, a heavy pack on his back and a laden donkey on a lead rope, walks large and central along a perfectly straight, level road through the green hills of Judah in the early morning; his face is calm and confident as he looks ahead. The rising sun is low on the horizon to one side, and on either side of the road the land falls away into rough ravines and thorny scrub, but his path runs straight and safe. 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.
