A Family Walks Through the Waters

Prompt

Isaiah 43: When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee. An Israelite family of exiles, large and central, wade calmly through a rushing river: a father carrying a small child on his shoulders and a mother holding his hand, the torrent parting around them without overflowing them, a soft glow of light on the water about them. Rocky river gorge, bright daylight sparkling on the spray, a mood of calm trust. 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.
