Photoreal Paladin on a Modern University Campus

Photorealistic 8k rendering of a tall, knightly paladin in gleaming silver plate armor with gold trim, a white cape, and a radiant sun-emblem shield, standing proudly in the courtyard of a bustling university campus. The setting blends neoclassical stone columns with glass-and-steel modern buildings. Morning sun casts warm, cinematic light with long shadows; students in casual clothing walk by with backpacks, a fountain ripples softly, and campus signage is visible in the background. Textures include riveted metal, leather straps, fabric, polished marble, and reflective shield. The image uses shallow depth of field to keep the paladin in sharp focus while the campus blurs slightly, conveying a heroic, inspirational mood.
