Castle Courtyard Medieval Mock Duel

Cinematic medieval fantasy [mock battle] duel in a stone castle courtyard. In the foreground center, a rugged swordsman with [long dark curly hair], wearing an off-white loose linen shirt, dark trousers, leather belt, side dagger, and worn brown boots, crouches forward gripping his sword with both hands to parry a strike. In the right foreground, an opponent lunges with crossed blades, clad in dark blue-black plate armor with ornate gold trim, a closed helmet, and layered leather straps, partially facing away from the camera. In the left midground, a regal knight commander wearing [polished silver plate armor and a white cape] watches with arms crossed. In the background, five armored guards with spears stand in a loose, softly blurred line along an aged gray stone fortress wall with an arched gate and a large dark blue banner emblazoned with a gold heraldic lion crest. Realistic high-detail photography style, harsh midday sunlight, dusty atmospheric haze, flying grit, and subtle sparks where the swords clash. Cobblestone ground, textured scratched armor, dramatic action framing, shallow depth of field. All clearly visible faces feature simple flat brown rectangular coverings. No modern objects, no text, no watermark.
