Prompt

Nehemiah 13: Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem and finds that Eliashib the priest has given Tobiah a chamber in the courts of the house of God; grieved, he casts all Tobiah's household goods out of the chamber. Nehemiah, in his indigo governor's mantle and wrapped headdress, stands large and central in a temple storeroom doorway, angrily flinging a carved wooden chest and rich cushions out into the sunlit court, his face blazing with righteous indignation; Eliashib the priest, in white linen and turban, stands to one side, shamefaced and startled. Bright midday light floods the stone court. 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.
