Is it real or is it Photoshop?
This picture and others like it are often used to make a religious point. Maybe this one is supposed to mean God is on our side. I do not intend to discredit anyone’s religious beliefs, but I want to raise at least a small bit of skepticism. Photos can easily be altered.
The technology is both amazing and scary. That photograph can indicate some kind of sign from the heavens or it can document someone’s very creative photographic manipulation skills.
Have you seen THIS photograph?
Is it real or is it Photoshop?
As we age, shouldn’t we question everything in life? Politics, religion, a car salesman’s claim. Answers to questions may alter beliefs we formed in youth. We might change political parties, religious affiliations or favorite brand of car.
On the other hand, answers to questions might re-confirm earlier beliefs.
Either way, shouldn’t we ask the question?
We can’t always believe everything we see.

The photo is real, it has to do with the weave of thread in the flag. I've created the same effect when taking pics. This one is easy to recreate because of the fabric, all at right angles. If it had been anything else, like an angel, then I'd think it was photoshopped.
I have a picture I took at the Grand Canyon, that looks like a chalice. The angle of the sun, hitting the lense created a cup shape in beautiful shafts of light. Sometimes it is surprising what light can create, you just have to stand in awe.
