Moses Raises His Rod as Hail Falls on Egypt

Prompt

Exodus 9: Moses stretches forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD sends thunder and hail, with fire running along the ground. Moses stands large and central on a rise, rod lifted to a towering storm cloud, as great hailstones and streaks of fire crash down onto the barley and flax fields of Egypt behind him, lit by brilliant flashes of light. The mood is fearsome, majestic and charged with power. 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.
