Portrait of a Noble Knight

Create an majestic portrait of a noble knight standing in a grand castle courtyard, his armor gleaming under the warm sunlight. He wears a breastplate adorned with intricate designs and a visored helmet that covers his face except for piercing blue eyes that convey strength and honor. His long, flowing white surcoat is tied at the waist with a sash, revealing a pair of black leather gloves on his hands. He holds a sword high in the air, poised to defend or strike. The background should feature towering stone walls and majestic columns, with banners fluttering above him. The courtyard is filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The lighting is dramatic, casting sharp shadows that accentuate his features and create an air of heroism and valor. Use a 35mm lens to capture the energy and excitement of the moment while maintaining clarity in his expression. The mood should be heroic and awe-inspiring, capturing the spirit of a noble knight who embodies courage and duty.
