The moving subjects are blurred but if I use auto mode, pics come out well. why is this happening? I didn't use a tripod. handheld. will tripod be of help to get the correct capture or is there something technical adjustment like shutter speed required to make this pic sharp? I used the range finder and adjusted aperture and shutter speed but result is this

wow loved the gold flake one.

The blur is always due to the shutter speed. Your shot was excellent at 1/8sec. That motion adds a bit of drama in the scene.
You will not see this blur in the auto mode because the camera will set a high ISO so your shutter speed would have been definitely > the focal length.
You can try setting the ISO up and then shoot so that you can always have a decent shutter speed.

The VR in that lens saved you a bit otherwise 1/8 s handheld clicking is horrible. Try clicking at 1/100 at least. For moving subjects it should be 1/400 or higher. Take care of ISO too.
Keep ISO in auto mode.
Min shutter speed 1/200
Aperture priority

Amit bhai, didn't get you ? Sun blast ?
If you mean, over exposure around Sun. That is something you can not get ride of. Unless you wait for Sun to set a little more or use a GND filter. A GND filter will obscure light from top half of frame thereby reducing Sun blast or overexposure in sky.

In general I liked your composition. A couple having evening walk on a rustic beach. You have managed to convey this story to me.
Another thing I liked about this image was clever use of foreground (plants), middle ground (couple) and background (horizon) gives dimensions to this image. Perfect use of UWA lens

What i didn't like
Why did you use 1/13 sec shutter speed and f/22 aperture ? try to remain f/8-f/11 range for minimum diffraction. A faster shutter would have made the couple more sharp.
Horizon looks crooked to me
your sensor need cleaning
