Ezekiel Sits Astonished Among the Exiles

Prompt

Ezekiel 3: Ezekiel sits astonished and silent for seven days among the exiles at Tel-abib by the river Chebar. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, sits large and central on a woven mat outside a mud-brick exile dwelling, eyes wide and overwhelmed, hands resting on his knees; a few Judean exiles in simple robes sit near him watching him with puzzled concern. Behind them the broad slow river Chebar, date palms and flat Babylonian plain in soft morning light, a faint golden radiance lingering in the 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.
