The top one looks like a 'Golden Orb Web Spider', Nephila spp. and the bottom one like a 'St Andrew's Cross Spider' Argiope keyserlingi. At least, that's what I'd say if I saw them here in tropical Queensland, Australia.

Was too keen to know ID of these spiders, which were photographed in Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh, to bother about issue of propriety of posting a mail not connected with birds/trees.
