You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what en passant does.

If you have a pawn in the fifth rank, and your opponent advances one of their pawns two spaces instead of one to be adjacent to your pawn instead, then you can take it diagonally, as though it had moved only once space.

In the first picture, your pawn is in its 4th rank. It cannot perform en passant from there.
