Shepherd David Gazes at the Starry Night Sky

Prompt

Psalm 8: "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; what is man, that you are mindful of him?" The shepherd boy David stands on a grassy hilltop near Bethlehem at night, his staff in one hand, gazing up in wonder at a vast sky blazing with stars, the Milky Way and a bright moon. The boy is large and central, his face lit with awe and his free hand half raised; his sheep rest peacefully around his feet in the silver moonlight. Simple dark hills on the horizon beneath the glowing, star-filled heavens. 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.
