Pilgrim Leaves the Tents of Kedar

Prompt

Psalm 120 (A Song of Ascents): Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. An Israelite man, staff in hand and a bundle on his shoulder, stands large and central at the edge of an encampment of black goat-hair tents in the desert at sunset, turning away from the armed, hostile tribesmen behind him and setting his face toward the distant hills of Judah, ready to begin the journey up to Jerusalem. Warm golden desert light, longing and resolve. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
