For me, the difference between "beauty" and "pretty" is all about depth. "Pretty" is all about surface. "Beauty" is about what lies beneath the surface. "Pretty" stays on the surface of things. "Beauty" dives/delves into the deep. "Pretty" is simple. "Beauty" is complex. "Pretty" embraces the straight and narrow. "Beauty" embraces contradictions. "Pretty" is contrived and self-absorbed. "Beauty" is comes naturally and is outgoing.Go read the whole post, there's nothing I'd disagree with in there.
Nature is beautiful because it is rugged, adaptable, unsentimental. That's the truth I hope I can get at in my photographs.
