An octagonal dice rests on a weathered wooden table, with a majestic ivory and gold temple softly glowing in the background. The lighting is gentle, with subtle contrasts and heightened clarity, while a shallow depth of field draws focus intimately on the dice. The tight framing ensures the dice fills most of the frame, emphasizing the intricately engraved numbers on its facets. The scene captures a fleeting moment, with an elderly man and Ian McKellen appearing softly out of focus in the distance. The composition is minimalist, featuring solely the dice, table, and temple, enhanced by three artistic effects that infuse the photograph with a sense of drama and mystery.
