Miriam Dances with a Timbrel by the Red Sea

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Miriam dances through shallow water with a timbrel raised high, with three women behind her holding timbrels. The sea and its walls of water stand in the distance.

Prompt

Exodus 15: on the shore of the Red Sea after the crossing, Miriam the prophetess takes a timbrel in her hand and sings, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously. Miriam dances large and central, timbrel raised high, face radiant with joy, with a few women behind her dancing with timbrels. The calm blue sea sparkles behind them under a bright morning sky; the mood is jubilant and free. 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.
