Amos Sees the Plumbline Beside a Crooked Wall

Prompt

Amos 7: "Behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand... Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel." Beside a tall stone wall of Israel that leans visibly out of true, Amos kneels large and central, looking up in awe at a heavy bronze plumb bob on a taut cord that hangs straight down out of a brilliant column of golden light and cloud at the top of the frame, showing how crooked the wall is; no figure is visible in the light. Clear bright morning sky, pale limestone, a sense of holy stillness. 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.
