Prompt

Habakkuk 2: "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me... Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables." At dawn the prophet Habakkuk, wearing a simple wrapped head cloth, stands large and central on top of a tall stone watchtower above the Judean hills, a clay tablet held against his chest and a stylus in his hand, gazing intently toward the horizon where the first golden rays of sunrise break through the morning haze; the surface of the tablet is turned away from view. Luminous rose-gold dawn, wide sky, quiet expectancy. 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.
