These are really some beautiful shots, but why is the subject nearly always turned away?  The scenery is beautiful, but the lady in the picture is obviously the subject since she is in focus.  I do like the flow and composition of your images though!  You have a wonderful variety of locations and lighting!

your comment is correct, there are very few people photographs of mine where subjects look directly at the camera. 
This is mainly because I do not generally do portrait photography. I want to create the general mood and express certain vibes and people are the instrument to achieve that, they are not the main subject, actually
Another thing is that I am just learning to do portraits and this is something really-really-really hard for me to do. Once my portraits become better, I will surely post them in my gallery

Ah, I see where you're coming from.  Personally, I think you should go ahead and post portraits if you have them and let people on here critique them for you.  You can always remove and upload more as you improve.  

You have a wonderful ability to capture the mood of the surroundings.  Use your subjects to enhance that.  I think your style lends more towards a more candid image of people in your images.  Instead of having the person looking directly at the camera, 'pose' (and I use that word loosely) in more candid poses that help to portray the feeling you want to express with your image.  The expression on the face and pose of the body can help to enhance your images: Happy, Sad, Enthusiastic, Hysterical, depressed, thinking, excited, late, worried, temper... etc.

But definitely don't go fully way from what is already working for you!  You're gallery looks wonderful.
