Two swordsmen clash in a dusty castle courtyard under harsh midday sun, a noblewoman in silver armor observes nearby

Prompt

Create a cinematic medieval fantasy mock duel scene in a stone castle courtyard, titled by mood as mock battle. Use a vertical 4:5 composition, realistic high-detail photography style, harsh midday sunlight, dusty air, flying grit and tiny sparks where weapons meet. Show exactly 8 visible people: 2 foreground duelists, 1 noble armored observer, and 5 background guards. In the foreground center, a rugged swordsman with long dark curly hair wears an off-white loose linen shirt, dark trousers, a leather belt, a side dagger, and tall worn brown boots; he crouches forward with both hands gripping a sword, blocking an attack. On the right foreground, an opponent in dark blue-black plate armor with ornate gold trim, a closed helmet, layered leather straps, and tall boots lunges in with crossed blades, partially back-facing the viewer. On the left midground, a regal knight commander with polished silver plate armor and a white cape stands calmly with arms crossed, watching the duel. Behind them, place 5 armored guards standing in a loose line with spears and dark armor, slightly out of focus. The background is an old gray stone fortress wall with an arched gate, narrow windows, wooden palisade details, and a large dark blue hanging banner bearing a gold heraldic lion-like crest. Faces should be anonymized with simple flat brown rectangular face coverings on all clearly visible people, matching the image’s censored look. Emphasize gritty medieval realism, textured armor, scratches, dust, leather, cobblestone ground, dramatic action, shallow depth of field, no modern objects, no text, no watermark.
