The perspective of the person observing.

Depending on what people are used to, the things they value and the art they like (etc etc) what they think is beautiful is different.  So, depending on viewpoint somepeople will find beauty in trees and forests, or others in a desert of sand and scrub bushes, others only in the seashore.

Eye of the beholder means the person who carries said beauty. The beauty is the eye of the person who can see it. Like..beauty is a camera lens, for a clunky non-romantic answer.

wow this gave me a totally different out look on that quote. i always thought that beauty is what the person loking at it thinks of it, and there are so many deffinitions, and so many ways to be beautifel. beauty is in everything you just have to find it.

they say eyes are the window to the soul. so it couls also mean that beauty is in the soul. it is so much more than just outside.

i hoped it helped!

"The eye of the beholder" is whoever is judging whether a person is beautiful or not.

That means "the eye of the beholder" can be anyone.

If someone asked you whether you thought your mom was beautiful and you answered "yes", then in your eyes she is beautiful. You are the beholder.

Someone else may disagree with you and say "no" your mom is not beautiful, in their eyes she is not beautiful. They are the beholder.

This should clear it up for you

Someone can be beautiful merely because a person thinks they are.

As already mentioned by many previous answers, the "eye of the beholder" is the eye of the one "beholding" or perceiving said beauty, which therefore states in more simplistic terms that beauty is a matter of opinion.
