Jeremiah Prays During the Great Drought

Prompt

Jeremiah 14: the great drought, 'their little ones... came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty.' Jeremiah kneels large and central on cracked, parched earth beside a dry cistern, praying with hands lifted to the sky, while young servants stand nearby holding empty clay water jars, heads covered in shame. Harsh bright sunlight, pale sky, dusty fields. 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.
