Samuel Calls for Thunder and Rain at Harvest
Samuel raises both arms toward a storm with lightning while men cower in a wheat field.
Prompt
1 Samuel 12: At wheat harvest, Samuel calls on the LORD and the LORD sends thunder and rain, and all the people greatly fear. Samuel stands large and central on a low rise, both arms lifted toward a great towering storm cloud, his mantle blowing in the wind, with lightning flashing from the cloud in the distance. Behind and below him a few Israelites in the golden, half-reaped wheat field cower and kneel, covering their heads in fear as the first heavy raindrops fall. Brilliant sunlight still blazes on the golden wheat beneath the dark-blue storm; awe-filled, dramatic mood. 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.
