David Lifts His Hands in Evening Prayer

Prompt

Psalm 141 (A Psalm of David): Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. King David in his later years stands large and central on the Mount of Olives at sunset, his hands lifted high in prayer and his eyes closed; across the valley a thin column of smoke from the evening sacrifice rises from Jerusalem into the glowing amber sky. Reverent and quiet. 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.
