Webgenius, You started with Lord Ganesha, that's what people do before starting something new. May the Lord Ganesha bless your photography journey.
Generally, photographers focus on the leading eye when they take portrait, but you have focused on legs. (May be because, the idol was so small and you couldn't keep the focus point on the eye or may be that's intentional).
I guess you have tried to get shallow DOF, which resulted out of focus face, arms...
It's little over exposed.
Focusing is one of the basic, you can start learning from there.
I sometime shoot in RAW. If that's a keeper, I will keep both the edited and original RAW. If it's not a keeper, I will delete the RAW and don't even try PP-ing.
