Ezra Leads Praise on the Wall

Prompt

Nehemiah 12: At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, two great companies of thanksgiving walk along the top of the wall, with Ezra the scribe going before them, while priests blow trumpets and Levites play harps and cymbals. Ezra, in his white priestly turban and blue mantle, walks large and central along the broad top of the new wall, arms lifted in joyful praise; just behind him a priest blows a long silver trumpet, a Levite plays a wooden lyre and another clashes cymbals, singing with radiant faces. The wall stretches away behind them under a brilliant blue sky with the hills of Judah below, bright joyful sunlight. 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.
