A cinematic and photorealistic depiction of an epic fantasy battle scene unfolds in a vibrant, yet delicately muted forest. At the forefront stands a paladin clad in intricate, shining armor, wielding a subtly glowing sword and shield. Beside him, a mysterious wizard, draped in a hooded robe adorned with elaborate arcane symbols, holds a staff crowned with a softly luminous orb. The wizard's face is cloaked in shadow, adding an air of enigma. On the opposite flank, a ranger is poised, garbed in a finely detailed leather cloak, with a longbow at the ready. They confront a colossal three-headed dragon, its scales intricately textured and possessing a subdued palette. The forest is bathed in crisp, clear lighting, enhancing the sharp details of the characters and their vivid surroundings. A creative twist introduces a gentle mist rolling through the trees, lending an ethereal atmosphere to the scene, while the dragon's eyes glow subtly in matching hues to emphasize the unity of the threat they face together.
