The Angel Appears to Gideon at the Winepress
Gideon crouches in a stone winepress with sheaves of wheat and looks up at a winged armoured angel seated under an oak.
Prompt
Judges 6: Gideon is threshing wheat by the winepress to hide it from the Midianites when the angel of the LORD appears and says, "The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour." Gideon, large and central, crouches in the stone winepress with sheaves of wheat and a threshing stick, looking up in astonishment; a mighty warrior angel in gleaming bronze armour and a helmet, with great outspread feathered wings, holding a staff, sits under the oak tree above him. Warm golden morning light through the oak leaves. 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.
