These are really strong, I personally like 1, 2, 3 and 7. On 8, maybe some minor cropping? particularly of the bottom. If I were to be very critical, 4 and 6 are photos that are seen fairly often and the top third of the first photo is not particularly exciting. Overall, they are a great set though.
If I were looking to save money, I wouldn't print #6 and #8 as currently shown.

You did a good job of blending interior and exterior details.
I like the rough edit @caliscouser did above. In addition to the fixes they listed, the crop helps hide some of the gray sky. Maybe the sky could be further fixed by boosting the blue channel in the upper part of the image.
Some homebuyers are overly picky about their lawns. Darkening the green channel in the lower half of the image might help with potential buyers who like a dark-green overly-fertilized lawn.

I hope it is OK to repost these images here (first posted in the "Show those old photos from before 1990" thread yesterday, for obvious reasons). They were taken in 1983 and 1985 on Agfachrome slide film during several visits to Tinghir and the Todgha oasis in southern Morocco. I used M 28, 50, 100, and 200mm lenses at the time. The 100mm is not represented here; I am not sure whether I used the 50mm or 28mm for the last image.

Nice! I think the flamingo should go into the Exclusive Gallery. Great use of space and shape! Give it a try!

I think everyone is sorry it happened. I think some feel they have some sort of god given right to photograph anyone any time under any circumstances- it's free speech after all . Maybe the woman was morning the loss of a loved one you don't know what her circumstances were.. I also see no difference in your posts than Murfy's except you have a different view point you take the paparazzi side. Getting beat up isn't right, nor is his refusal to honor her request. If someone wants to be left alone, leave them alone, don't take their picture. Most people love to have their picture taken so move on make someone happy.

Haven't seen a thread here on this lens yet.
I was hoping to have it together with the K1 for a trip to Hawaii last week. But, heartbreak, my flight left literally 3 hours before the camera was delivered to my doorstep. I tried various ways to get it redirected but just couldn't get that to happen.
Anyway, on to the shots, how about some lava? shot with K3ii. handheld. hanging from a moving helicopter. a big beast of a lens but superb, pro quality IQ. Can be shot handheld with K3ii. I'm sure it will fare even better with the K1.
This was at 1600ISO, 330mm, F5.6, 1/1000

#3 and #4 are the most striking to me, with #3 being more interesting as well. With both of them you could do with easing off on the sharpening just on the horizon to remove the halo. #4 has a tiny bit of a edge flicker just above the horizon at the right hand side; crop a few pixels off or clone it out as competition rules permit.
#1 doesn't stand out to be honest. Whilst it's a fair enough landscape it doesn't really evoke any feelings. Don't assume that all the other sunsets are of the sea.
#2 is definitely an interesting photo and I really like the layering of mountains in the background. The rocky outcrop that forms the focus of the image doesn't seem to pop out for some reason. I think it could do with a touch more contrast, but there are also the distracting highlights in the bottom right corner. It has all the makings of a really great photo, but needs more work than #3 and #4.
#5 doesn't have elements that draw my eye.
#6 is too soft.
They're all good photos, and I'm not trying to put you down. I'm just thinking about how pedantic the judges might be.

I hate exposure. (Dude in the last shot needs his serotonin levels checked.:lol:)
The first one, especially, is an outstanding composition (and #4 remains a favorite as well.) You need a bigger house!
