Noah Welcomes the Animals Into the Ark

Prompt

Genesis 7: the animals go into the ark two by two as the flood is about to begin. Noah stands large in the open doorway at the top of the wooden ramp, welcoming a pair of lions, a pair of elephants and a pair of sheep walking up beside him, doves flying in overhead. Dark storm clouds gather in the distance while a last bright shaft of sunlight falls on Noah and the great door. The mood is urgent, solemn and faithful. 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.
