Would you take this as a sign?

One night my fiance and I were at the beach, and I of course had my camera handy and was taking pictures all day and into the night. I was trying to get a good shot of the moon over the water, and this was one of the pics that came out. *This photo has not been retouched!* I could not have gotten a better shot than this if I wanted to. This is how it looked on the camera!
If you took a pic like this one day out of the blue would you take it as a sign? Would you think that it meant that the two of you were meant to be together through whatever would come your way after that? Or would you just dismiss it as a fluke?

I'd blow it up, print it out, frame it and hang it over the bed! Seriously! What a fabulous shot and definitely a sign! Oh, I am SOOOO jealous! It's wonderful. I left a comment on it for you.

I am so glad you like it Spark!! If I can find the orginal file that I took off of the camera, I will be more than happy to e-mail you a copy of the pic if you would like. It might be something that you could show Meg over your morning coffee and brighten her day as well!

Holy picture I would definitely mark it as fate. LOL!!! I have never seen a pic of the moon like that and I would considered us blessed at the time it was taken but me being the realist I am at time I would think that we were perfect at that time and fate had a part. LOL!!!

It is a warm and fuzzy. If you turn it into a card what would the inside say?

Well i would take it as a sign, that is so beautiful, I really do believe we are given signs one way or another by I just don't know maybe our spiritual guides, I think you may have a spiritual guide with a good sense of humour, do you know anyone who has been in your life who is now gone that might do siomething like this...a very nice picture i think you should have that blown up and have it as youer main framed picture over your fire place when you get married...

I am planning to do just that, I am afriad blowing it up might cause it to get distorted. I need to find the orginal file on the computer of the pic and hopefully it will come out just right! I was at one point playing with the color a bit to lighten it up so you could clearly see the water, but you lose the sharpness of the heart.

I don't take things as signs lightly!! This was just one of those flukes that I would never be able to duplicate, and I love this pic so much I wanted to share it. A lot of people that have seen it take it as a sign, and some don't either way I love this pic!!

Hi Erilyn,
I bet I will..LOL! But, I will not look for any sign aside of the feelings we both shared! When I met my husband, I never thought, he is the one,,It was the most comfortable and most unexplainable experience compared to others, I mean it was too light! A feeling where you know and you can tell, this is it!

I can't tell you whether or not this is a sign or not, but it is definitely an awesome shot. I have never seen anything like this, and I have definitely never taken a picture even close to this. This could be the tip of a cloud over the moon, but what it is isn't important. I don't know what to make of it, but it is beautiful and inspiring to say the least. You likely wouldn't have noticed it had you just looked at the moon at that time. The camera often capture things we cannot see at first glance.

That is a fantastic picture, it is beautiful and yes I would probably take it as a sign!
I love to take photos, but have only recently started to take a lot of them, but I am pretty sure that I will never get a shot like that.

Thank you I really do love this picture, and wanted to share it with my friends here on mylot. A lot of people do look at this and take it as a sign, a lot don't. Either way you are right it is a wonderful picture and I get a smile every time I think about it!

I'm not sure I believe in signs all that much, but the photo is very unusual. Perhaps a cloud had but that heart design into the sky. Whatever it was, it's really eye-catching and, of course, romantic. I hope you will consider taking that photo, blowing it up and having it framed. If it's not a sign, then it is certainly something that will always remind you of a very special night with your fiance

This is true! I have considered blowing it up and am trying to work out the dimintions so that it doesn't get too fuzzy or distorted! He tells me all the time whne we see a cresent moon that the moon is smiling on me because I am so pretty lol. Going from that though, I guess I would have to say that the moon is showing our love for each other!

That picture is really good.
I would not take it as a sign as I do not really believe in signs, I would probably use it as a cheesy line with my partner at some point though =D

When he says he loves you, you should say something like "I do too, I showed you my love in the moon" or something lol.

Hello,
In life I dont think there are flukes . Things happen the way they should and we see things and may not undrstand , but in time there are answers . I think we have small signs along the way and that just may be one for you both . What a lovely moon !!! and what a picture . really is a lovers moon !!!

I am not sure if it was a fluke or not, I know getting that picture was a one off, I would never be able to get a shot like that again in my life no matter how hard I tried! I told my fiance when I took the picture that it was a sign that we were meant to be together and after everything we have been through together thus far we have made it through together!
