A cinematic and photorealistic depiction of an epic fantasy battle scene in a vibrant, yet desaturated forest. In the foreground stands a paladin wearing intricate, gleaming armor, with a subtly radiant sword and shield. To the paladin's right, a wizard in a hooded robe adorned with elaborate arcane symbols holds a staff crowned with a softly glowing orb. The wizard's face is mysteriously shadowed by the hood. To the paladin's left, a ranger clad in a detailed leather cloak wields a longbow, poised to strike. They confront a colossal, three-headed dragon, its richly textured scales rendered in muted tones. The forest is illuminated with sharp, clear light, casting natural, understated colors that accentuate the crisp details of the characters and their surroundings. The scene conveys a sense of anticipation, as the intricate features and vivid details contrast with the dragon's ominous form.
