Photorealistic Warrior Amid Lost City Ruins

Photorealistic image of a battle-hardened warrior standing in a lost city, its streets flooded and marble ruins overgrown with ivy. The warrior wears ornate, battle-worn plate armor with engravings, a cracked helm, and a tattered cape; he holds a gleaming longsword in one hand, with a weathered shield strapped to his back. Surrounding him are crumbling arches, toppled statues, broken columns, and roots bursting through stone, with water reflecting a moody amber sky. Dust motes drift through beams of light that spill from ruptured ceilings. Cinematic, high-contrast lighting emphasizes rugged facial features, scars, and the textures of metal and leather. Realistic skin, detailed armor weathering, and fabric folds are visible; 8k ultra-detailed textures, macro detail, shallow depth of field keeping the warrior sharp while the ruins blur softly in the background. Color palette of warm golds and cool greens with turquoise shadows; epic, solitary, and awe-inspiring mood.
