In my opinion, beauty in a picture only exists if the viewer feels the emotion from what was captured, or has a connection with it in some way, shape or form. Beauty in photography often varies from things people find attractive, to scenes of hopelessness or even changes in history. It really all depends on the audience. For instance, a picture of a man crying may be something a person may not find enchanting, but just suppose that it may be from the first glance of his new baby daughter. This simple addition completely changes the mood into something almost magical. Also, a shot of a soldier saving another man is not pretty, but uplifting. These pictures represent something beautiful.
