* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', in the "I See the Light" romantic song that takes place during the breath-taking floating lanterns scene, Rapunzel is admiring the lanterns she always dreamed to see, meanwhile Flynn is looking at her the whole scene.
%%* Happens in ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' in the restaurant scene.

* Inverted in ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind'' when a character insists on his wife coming to see the UFO's he's just witnessed (of course they're long gone). She gripes that they used to come to places like this to look at each other.
* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' has a platonic version with Mantis and Drax as they watch the fireworks. Mantis says they're beautiful; Drax, looking at her, agrees, and says she's beautiful too… on the inside.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'': Inverted with Caprice and Marylin. Caprice sometimes interacts with Marylin romantically while he is busy admiring flora and fauna due to his appreciation of nature. For example, in their first date, Marylin adores and pays attention to the animals Caprice has to babysit. In another episode, Caprice offers to kiss him, but he picks up a leafy plant and expresses a kiss towards it.

-->'''Lois:''' Oh, Peter, I love you. \\

* Inverted during the summer arc in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' when [[spoiler:Kaguya's eyes are fixed on Shirogane as he watches the fireworks show, in complete awe of everything he did to get her there. This is especially notable as the entire reason they came to see the show was so Kaguya could see it.]]

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': There's a [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/aaffd7545b35f19001d6ba23452c1380/4c0f7fd0a5d26ee0-fe/s540x810/7d788f14daed720e97c929c3edb5b7e53eeee847.gif same-sex variation]] in [[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder the first episode]] when Louis de Pointe du Lac (who later becomes the "feminine" partner in a MasculineFeminineGayCouple) is looking straight ahead because he's enraptured by the live ''Theatre/{{Iolanta}}'' performance, whereas Lestat de Lioncourt is gawking at Louis, who's seated next to him -- it should be noted that Lestat is a huge opera fan, yet his attention is laser-focused on his LoveInterest instead of what's happening onstage. Louis is [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]] that his friend is smitten by him.

A standard romantic scenario. A couple (or [[ShipTease two potential romantic partners]]) are gazing out at some sort of scenery, like a wide landscape, a flower garden, the [[StargazingScene night sky]]. One of them (usually the female, if the couple is heterosexual) is enthralled by the view and comments about it. The other one (usually the male) might hum sort of affirmation, but he's not ''really'' looking out at it like she is. Instead, he's gazing at her, implying that she's more captivating as whatever they're looking at.
