A cinematic and photorealistic image captures an epic fantasy battle scene set in a vibrant yet desaturated forest. At the forefront stands a paladin in intricately detailed armor, his sword and shield subtly glowing with a radiant aura. Beside the paladin, a mysterious wizard, shadowed by a hooded robe adorned with intricate arcane symbols, wields a staff crowned with a softly glowing orb. The wizard's face remains enigmatic, hidden within the shadows of the hood. To their side, a ranger is poised, clad in a finely crafted leather cloak, an elegantly carved longbow at the ready. They face a massive, fearsome three-headed dragon with richly textured scales in muted tones, towering over the scene. Sharp, clear lighting in the forest highlights the crisp details of the characters and the lush environment, enhancing the sense of tension and anticipation in this captivating encounter. The forest surroundings are alive with natural, understated colors, enriching the scene's vivid realism without detracting from the dramatic confrontation unfolding within.
