A cinematic and photorealistic image of an epic fantasy battle unfolds in a vibrant yet desaturated forest. A valiant paladin stands in detailed armor, wielding a subtly radiant sword and shield. Beside the paladin, a mysterious wizard is wrapped in a hooded robe adorned with intricate arcane symbols; a staff with a softly glowing orb crowns the wizard's hand. The shadowy hood conceals the wizard's face, enhancing the enigma. Flanking them, a skilled ranger wears a detailed leather cloak, with a longbow poised for action. Opposing them is a massive, three-headed dragon, its scales rich in texture and muted in color. The forest's lighting is sharp and clear, enhancing the natural, understated colors that bring the crisp details of the characters and their environment to life. While staying true to the core concept, the scene's lighting and colors evoke a sense of realism and wonder.
