David Kneels Forgiven in a Garden Court

Prompt

Psalm 32: "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered... I acknowledge my sin to you... and you forgave the iniquity of my sin... You are my hiding place." King David kneels in a quiet palace garden courtyard at sunrise, a rough sackcloth slipping from his shoulders and his heavy crown set on the ground beside him, his tear-streaked face lifted with an expression of overwhelming relief and gratitude, his hands open on his knees. He is large and central. Warm golden morning light floods over him through a gap in the stone wall, and green vines and a small spring of water surround the courtyard. 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.
