Joshua Looks Over the Crowns of Conquered Kings
The aged Joshua looks down at a row of golden crowns laid on a cloth. Hills and the camp lie behind him in the setting sun.
Prompt
Joshua 12: The kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote are remembered, thirty and one kings. Joshua stands large and central at the camp at Gilgal in the evening, looking down solemnly at a long row of captured golden and bronze royal crowns laid on a woven cloth on the ground before him. Behind him the conquered hills of Canaan glow in warm sunset light, the land at rest from war. 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.
