Priests Carry the Ark Through the Jordan
Priests in white carry the golden ark through a dry riverbed between walls of water, with rams and lambs leaping on the hills.
Prompt
Psalm 114: When Israel went out of Egypt... The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. Priests in white linen carry the Ark of the Covenant, a gold-covered chest with two golden cherubim on its lid, borne on poles on their shoulders, large and central into the dry bed of the Jordan as the river's waters roll back and heap up upstream; on the green hills all around, rams and lambs leap and bound joyfully across the slopes. Brilliant spring sunlight, wonder and joy. 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.
