A Great Cedar of Lebanon Shelters Birds and Beasts

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A huge cedar towers over a stream, with birds in its branches and deer and wild goats resting in its shade. Snowy mountains rise behind it.

Prompt

Ezekiel 31: Pharaoh likened to the Assyrian, a cedar in Lebanon of fair branches and high stature, whose top was among the thick boughs. A colossal, majestic cedar of Lebanon towers large and central over the frame, its vast spreading layered branches full of nesting birds of every kind, while deer, wild goats and other beasts of the field rest in its broad shade beside a flowing stream at its roots; snowy Lebanon peaks and a brilliant blue sky beyond. Glowing golden morning light through the boughs. 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.
