Prompt

Ezekiel 9: in Ezekiel's vision, a man clothed in linen with a scribe's inkhorn at his side sets a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and cry over the abominations in Jerusalem. Seen from behind and over his shoulder, the linen-clad man, a writer's inkhorn hanging at his belt, gently touches a small plain ink mark on the forehead of a kneeling elderly Judean man whose face, large and central, is wet with tears of grief; Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, stands close beside them watching with sorrow. Behind them the bright limestone court of the temple and its bronze altar in clear morning light. 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.
