Dear Ryca (via Stan),
Thanks for your compliment(s) but I am by no means a 'Master' at all at least by my last four B&W images with these kinds of Statistics:
ULURU Views 14 Comments 3 Ratings 1
ISLANDS IN THE SKY Views 8 Comments 1 Ratings 1
GHOST TOWN Views 11 Comments 3 Ratings 0
ARCH ROCK Views 13 Comments 1 Ratings 1
So ... they will all be deleted and neither one of you even commented on either one of them either so something MUST be terribly wrong!

Dear Doug, First of all, thank you for your real critique :) Think I don't have any reason to hate you for being honest, instead I really appreciate it so much...and so sorry to late reply coz I dont spend much time to be online, hope you understand. I'll try to answer your question and confusion.
1. Thanks (again) for stopping by 2. In fact, I was not really sure about this shot. That's why I upload here and maybe I've got the point from you. 3. hmm..think I do agree with you, a lil bit noise in the upper one third. I'm trying to get details about the black cloud that was so much noise and in the lower one third is the opposite :). 4. Then lucky me.. 5. Yep, its quite a bit off. 6. I'm really curious with your software use to smoother this image (but its ok if its your secret lol) 7. Hmm...not agree, especially if cropping the right side this picture will becomes less dimension. 8. Ok. 9. is it important?
Why I named it so? the complete title is "one day when the fisherman do not go fishing and relax". I do sometimes have difficulty to make the title simpler, so I use an online dictionary to translate it and maybe there are some misunderstanding I dont know :)
Ok hope you'll be satisfied with this. I spent about a half hour to read and reply carefully using the dictionary Btw your retouch is very cool! Thanks so much, you are really a talented person, Dear Doug..
have a nice day, Ryca

Aloha Dear Ryca (via Turi),
Please allow me to give you a 'Real' critique from a 'Real Photographer' ... Okay?
1. First Impact: I just love sunsets of course and who doesn't so that is what made me have to take a better look at the larger size from the thumbnail ...
2. Was I disappointed? ... Yes, so please allow me to explain and I will not forget to mention that the middle part of this image is for sure the strongest ...
3. A lot of noise in the upper one third and too much negative black space in the lower one third. Do you agree?
4. So, because this picture has so much potential as most do let's repair it together ... Alright?
5. Horizon straightened which is quite a bit off.
6. Smoothed out the overall image for that painterly feel.
7. Cropped off the bottom and off the right.
8. Adjusted the contrast with some clarification to the beautiful colours within the 'Middle Realm' which is the most delightful part of this image to me ...
9. Added a simple 'Presentation Border' with Typo Credits also to recognize you as the 'Artist & Photographer' ...
I hope you don't hate me know for being honest nor do I hope you think I am being disrespectful in any manner for having enjoyed this little conversation with you that has lasted almost an hour now, but with one glass of red wine in between ... !:))
P.S. As for the 'Title': Perhaps you can tell me why you named it so ...
