Jeremiah and a Watchman Sound the Alarm on the Wall
Jeremiah holds a hand to his chest on Jerusalem's wall while a watchman blows a ram's horn and dust rises on the horizon.
Prompt
Jeremiah 4: 'Blow ye the trumpet in the land... for I will bring evil from the north.' Jeremiah stands large and central on the stone wall of Jerusalem, one hand pressed to his heart in anguish, beside a watchman blowing a long ram's horn shofar. Far on the northern horizon a vast cloud of dust rises from an approaching army. Strong late-afternoon golden light, wind in their cloaks. 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.
