Raj,
You have done a good job with this scene. My preference is for No 2, but only just.

Hi Raj.
I like your 2nd image very much.
You might want to try a bit of cropping. Consider removing half the tree trunk and everything to the right side. Also consider cropping off some of the top to keep the Sun up high in the image. I don't think the cropped off portions contributed much to the image and psychologically, placing the Sun higher in the image makes it even more powerful. I cropped a small amount off left side too for balance. My two cents worth ...

Looks good, Raj. Try taking a little bit more off to see if you like it any better. As is, it is a very nice, serene image.
Hi Raj. I would have cropped the top just a tiny bit more to push the sun up higher in the image. Having said that, I think we are at the stage where personal preference is coming into play, so whichever version is most pleasing to you, stay with it.
The scene certainly does invite the viewer to sit or lie on the bench and take in the beauty and serenity. Keep up the good work.
