Agur Marvels at the Eagle and the Ship

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A bearded man shades his eyes on a sea cliff and looks up at a soaring eagle. A sailing ship crosses the sea behind him and a serpent lies on the rock below.

Prompt

Proverbs 30: There be three things which are too wonderful for me: the way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea. Agur, an old sage in a simple brown mantle, stands large and central on a rocky clifftop above the sea, shading his eyes and gazing in wonder at a great eagle soaring overhead; far out on the glittering blue sea a wooden sailing ship with a square sail glides past. Bright golden late-afternoon light and wind in his mantle. 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.
