Prompt

Psalm 125 (A Song of Ascents): They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people. A pilgrim family stands large and central on the slope of the Mount of Olives in late afternoon, the father's arm around his wife and son, looking across the valley at Jerusalem on Mount Zion, which is encircled by protecting hills on every side; golden light bathes the city walls and the temple. Secure and peaceful. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
