Habakkuk Rejoices Beside a Bare Fig Tree

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Habakkuk stands with raised arms and a joyful face beside a leafless tree. Dry vines and an empty sheepfold are behind him, and a deer leaps on a rocky ledge above.

Prompt

Habakkuk 3: "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines... and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation... he will make my feet like hinds' feet." The prophet Habakkuk, wearing a simple wrapped head cloth, stands large and central beside a bare, leafless fig tree in a barren, dry field with withered vines and an empty stone sheepfold behind him, yet his face is lifted to the sky in radiant joy and his arms are raised in a song of praise; on a high rocky ledge above, a graceful deer leaps surefooted. Warm, glowing golden morning light over parched hills, bright clear sky. 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.
