Create a cinematic macro scene of a small mechanical hummingbird hovering beside a glowing flower. Construct the bird from polished gold plates, copper filaments and tiny illuminated electronic details. Let the translucent petals emit cool cyan light while warm late-afternoon sunlight filters through the garden behind it. Capture the wings and metallic edges with crisp highlights, using a shallow depth of field to turn surrounding foliage into soft bokeh. Add a few floating dust particles and preserve the delicate proportions of a real hummingbird within the intricate machine design.

Character with Pokémon
Published example · Nano BananaCharacter with Pokémon
View prompt

Create a hyper-realistic editorial portrait of a person, generated from the provided image (same face 100%, same hairstyle, expression preserved). The subject stands confidently on a reflective glossy floor wearing a coordinated bright yellow and crimson outfit (hooded jacket or sweatshirt and tailored joggers) with lightning bolt-inspired linework and subtle embroidered electric motifs running along sleeves, chest and pant seams. Matching crimson and yellow sneakers complete the look. Beside the subject stands a large Pikachu-like creature, scaled to be equal to or taller than the person, with realistic textured fur and a vibrant palette of electric yellows and deep crimson accents that echo the clothing. Background is a moody electric yellow to deep crimson gradient that enhances the vibrant palette; both subject and creature are clearly reflected on the floor. Lighting uses dramatic warm key light and sculpting rim light to emphasize skin, fur and fabric detail, cinematic shallow depth of field, slight film grain for editorial grit, photoreal creature integration, ultra-detailed 8K quality.

Ultra Wide-Angle Edit - Keep Same Person + Same Location
Published example · Nano BananaUltra Wide-Angle Edit - Keep Same Person + Same Location
View prompt

A WIDE-ANGLE EDIT — KEEP SAME PERSON + SAME LOCATION. This is an EDIT of the original image, NOT a new character. IDENTITY: – Same face, same hairstyle, same body proportions. – Same outfit design: white Canada-Goose-style puffer jacket (fluffy hood), layered knitwear, slim-fit blue jeans, Timberland wheat-yellow boots. Winter airport-celebrity style. LOCATION: – Same airport terminal as original. Same materials, glass walls, lighting, floor texture, architecture. – Expand environment logically from new angles (runway lights, distant planes). Do NOT move to a different place. CAMERA / LENS: – Ultra wide-angle or fisheye (12–18mm feel). – Dramatic angle REQUIRED: worm's-eye, bird's-eye, low angle, high angle, Dutch tilt. – Strong foreshortening: body parts near lens appear HUGE; rest of body recedes. POSE: – Dynamic, stylish, complex pose. Fashion or street-photo energy. – 1–2 (sometimes 3) body parts VERY close to lens: hands, fingers, boots, knees, face, shoulders. – Near-lens parts show distortion + texture detail. VARIATION: – Each edit must change camera angle, pose type, and which body parts are closest. – No repetition of identical compositions. LIGHTING: – Keep same lighting mood as original airport scene (soft overhead indoor light). – Photorealistic. No anime. No illustration. STRICT RULES: – Do NOT change person. – Do NOT change outfit type. – Do NOT change location. – No text, no logos, no graphic elements. GOAL: Create a photorealistic, dramatic, ultra wide-angle remix of the original, with extreme angle + near-lens body parts + same person + same airport environment. REFERENCE (original): photograph of the woman in white Canada-Goose-style puffer jacket, knitwear, slim-fit jeans, Timberland boots, inside an airport terminal with glass facades, soft indoor light, runway lights visible; gritty lo-fi film mood; airport telephone booth with receiver and green coiled cord.

Change and keep

For image editing, separate the change from the details you want to preserve: “Place the ceramic cup on a wooden desk. Keep its blue glaze and handle shape. Add soft window light.” Review those details after generation.

If the result is close, narrow the next request to one issue, such as softer shadows or a simpler backdrop. Changing the style, framing, and subject together makes it harder to tell which instruction helped.
