My friend, this is an outstanding photo! Makes me feel like I am standing right there on the beach
I've read some of the posts and all I have to say is that Photoshop isn't a bad thing. It's a tool that enhances an artists ability to bring about color, depth and emotion in thier work. It's another aspect of being a photographer. Almost everything I post is enhanced in some way (though not with photoshop...Don't have that program 
the meark of a great photographer is to be able to take an already great shot and make it even better!
I say, well done!

Thank you very very much, wait my new photos later, i have something really better in my opinion i will show them later on time
I was thinking that first i have to be a photographer, then i have to be a photoshopper, now if i am not a photographer yet and not good in photoshop as well so that i feel myself i am wasting time to improve either, and let's say i know photography and do it good enough way now if i am not good in photoshop yet will this affect my works? and is that means many people there because they are Masters in photoshop so then their photography is not that great but they use their photoshop skill to cover their photography some lacking parts? really i feel i can't do good in photography if my style in photography are just normal flat or not interesting and even my way of photoshop is so weird or overdone so then i can't reach anywhere, i will just keep experimenting and asking for help or critiques and even i got them i will keep confusing to complementing both together, i think there are many courses about photography and many books and magazines, now should i take courses in photoshop as well? not all courses on photoshop are related to photography, for example i took very long time ago a course about web pages designing and used photoshop as one tool for that.
All what i wish is that i have some works that really people care to look at or get interested into it, i can find clearly that if they really care or not by trying to sell some of my works, if all my works here or more to come i never sell even 1 photo and people keep saying WOW and Great and outstanding, then there is something wrong either with people positive comments or my works that it didn't be sold, what do you think?

Well, Tareq, I think you are right about being a photographer first then a photoshopper. If the raw photo isn't composed well, is over or under exposed, has the wrong shutter speed or a zillion other things not right about the photo it will be a bad photo or at least something less than what it could be.
Something about the DA culture I have noticed. It's really hard to sell prints to other photographers. I really don't think that selling prints on DA is a true measure of how good your shots are. I think a better measure is how many people have you as a favorite Deviant. You have a large following! 
It's a lot like the poetry site I frequent and post poetry on... The other poets want you to read thier works and comment, but they might or might not read yours. I take the short comments I get with a grain of salt, thank them and look forward to someone who will give an honest opinion. On DA, there is the favorite option where people can put thier favorite works in a separate gallery where they can look at them anytime they want. It also helps to showcase a deviants works. It is how I found you. Through the gallery of one of my favorite Deviants.
From what I have seen of your gallery, I think you are as good a photographer as there is on DA. There isn't anything wrong with Photoshop and I applaud you for wanting to make the best pictures you can. I think you are a true student of the craft and those lessons will continue for the rest of your life. Just do the best you can...And always keep your camera handy

Thank you very much
The same of my expectations and thinking of that i can't sell my prints here to photographers or artists mostly [maybe it will happen but it will be very rarely] and sometimes i feel the same that i don't want to buy prints from another photographers, so i have to know my clients then.
about the photoshop using as needing, i feel happy that i do great job in photography so then i don't use photoshop too much to correct and fix many elements, and i feel proud that all my photos are real elements without any adding or removing subjects or elements rather than dust spots and the only addition i did once is to add few stars spots by brush on one of my nightshots, so i will focus to get my photos right before using photoshop, and i know and believe that i can apply photoshop on them day be day, better and better, so i don't worry about photoshop usage.

Thank you very much
Yeah, it is difficult to shoot in this beach as many people coming here for recreation
That day i took the photo was in Ramadhan, our holy month of fasting, so i went there before the sunset [as we end our fasting within the sunset] so no much people were there that time

thanks, i think i should stop posting photos, if i do photoshop people complaining, if i post original then people will not prefer it as it is flat or not enhanced or not so interested without some effects or manipulations, even they do prefer the original i can see clearly that those photos manipulated many spread on this site are always or mostly chosen and to be favorites too much.
