How this image was made

Generated with Nano Banana from this prompt:

A wide 16:9 cinematic image of the rainforest hills above Rio de Janeiro at dusk, reimagined in a far future with luminous storybook light: giant ferns, moss, fireflies, lanterns and golden haze against deep blue. In the middle third of the frame two steep granite peaks rise apart over the bay, and the sky between them is a deep, quiet blue, so the centre of the picture stays dark and calm. At the bottom of the frame, on a mossy ledge, a small anonymous figure, seen from behind, holds the string of a little airship made of glowing paper and willow that tugs upward, ready to fly. But a thin rope is tied around their ankle, and at its other end sits a small, scruffy shadow creature no bigger than a cat, which in the lantern light throws a huge, monstrous shadow across the rock face toward the left edge. The knot looks loose enough to slip off with one hand. Photorealistic, finely detailed, soft volumetric glow, wide-angle lens from a low viewpoint, gentle depth of field. No text, letters, signage or typography anywhere in the image.
