Joshua Charges the Elders of Israel
The aged Joshua sits with a staff and a raised hand, speaking to two elders, with an open scroll beside him.
Prompt
Joshua 23: Joshua, now very old, calls the elders and heads of Israel together and charges them to keep the book of the law and to cleave to the LORD. The aged Joshua sits large and central on a carved wooden seat, leaning forward on his staff, one hand raised as he speaks earnestly, while two grey-bearded elders sit before him listening intently. Warm golden sunlight through an open courtyard, hills beyond. 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.
