Solomon Gazes over His Gardens and Pools
King Solomon in royal robes stands on a marble terrace looking over orchards, vineyards and a long pool, with a weary face.
Prompt
Ecclesiastes 2: I made me gardens and orchards, I made me pools of water... and, behold, all was vanity. The aged King Solomon, the Preacher, in rich royal robes and a gold circlet, stands large and central on a marble terrace, one hand resting on the balustrade, gazing out with a weary, pensive face over the great works he has made: terraced vineyards, fruit orchards and a long stone pool lined with palms, under a bright afternoon sky. Luxurious and golden, yet his expression is empty and sad. 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.
