Cinematic and photorealistic image of an epic fantasy battle scene in a vibrant, desaturated forest. The scene features a paladin in intricate armor, holding a subtly radiant sword and shield. Beside him stands a wizard in a hooded robe, with detailed arcane symbols woven into the fabric, and a staff topped with a softly glowing orb. The wizard's face is partially shadowed by the hood, adding mystery. To their other side, a ranger in a detailed leather cloak holds a poised longbow. The trio faces a colossal, three-headed dragon, its scales textured and muted in color. Sharp, clear lighting in the forest emphasizes the natural, understated colors and highlights the crisp details of the characters and their surroundings.
