Hi Vinayaka

I like the composition in #1. Unfortunately you have a blown out sky. Next time if you try shooting as soon as sun dissappers behind the columns, you can get a lovely image ( Or you might try different angles in order not to frame the sun directly).

#2 is very colorful and nice. The face of the woman looks a little reddish and unnatural to me but you can fix it with PP.

IMO both watermarks are distracting on the images. If they were my images I would remove them.

Yes, the first scene almost works but unfortunately the sun appears to have taken a chunk out of the column which does reduce the impact.

Not sure about the colour on #2, is it a fraction on the blue side rather than red? But we are only guessing, you were there and know what it should look like. There are some white areas so it is possible to take a colour check reading from them.

Subject content and focus are good on both these images.

The first is a very difficult scene to shoot; you are fighting with a very bright sun shining back at your camera and then the back of the stones that are in shadow. There are different ways of trying to capture this scene, but none are trivial and involve trying to combine a number of similar shots using post-processing software.

Compositionally, I like your second shot, but it looks like you have really turned up the saturation, and that has carried over into the skin tones. The colours in the clothing are overly vibrant; usually a sign of being a bit too enthusiastic with the saturation (either with the in-camera controls for jpegs or in post production). There is also a rather strange looking processing artifact under the arm.

Nice efforts, agree with the others on quality of images.

I like both the images and you are given valuable advice by others; nothing to add; regards
