Levites Praise the LORD at Evening
A white-robed Levite lifts his hands toward the sunset while others hold a lyre, a harp and a basket of flour before the altar.
Prompt
1 Chronicles 23: The Levites, numbered and divided into their courses by David, stand at evening to thank and praise the LORD, as was their duty every morning and every evening. A grey-bearded Levite chief in a long white linen robe is large and central, both hands lifted in praise, his face glowing in the sunset light; beside him two younger Levites play a lyre and a harp and another carries a basket of fine flour for the offering. Behind them the bronze altar with a thin column of smoke from the evening sacrifice and the courts of the sanctuary on Mount Zion; warm amber and rose sunset sky; a peaceful, devoted mood. 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.
