To me, beauty as it relates to is nature is capturing a natural scene or object showing all of its untouched perfection, as well as its imperfections. Sometimes an imperfection may actually dominate the scene, such as a tree that has just been toppled by a storm, and there can be beauty and emotion in that. Other times, a scene may be captured in such a naturally serene and perfect state, it can evoke a spiritual, longing emotion or almost seem unreal. Beauty in nature may also be so inviting as to pull the viewer into the scene, making them want to go there and never leave. I personally find natural photography to be more intense and have more meaning to me than most man-made scenes.
This photograph of Mount Rainer in Washington is a great example of what beauty in nature means to me. The scene is so beautiful that it's almost surreal and it pulls you in so that you can almost imagine being there right now. My family has hiked into similar places, so it brings back memories and happy emotions for me as well.
