You've got no problems spotting potential images - the variety, compositions and execution is superb!
Look forward to seeing many more

They look great. Image 2 is intriguing, I'm guessing the sky distorted reflection off of windows, nice effect and use of B&W. Is image 5 a famous bus station?

You are making good use of it. Only time will tell if it's any better for competitions

Image 2 is indeed a reflection of the sky distorted by imperfectly flat glass. Technically not actually converted to B&W, although I did drop the saturation somewhat in processing.
Image 5 is the leisure centre newly built in my town, replacing a rather dilapidated and apparently financially unsustainable previous one. Swimming pool, gym, cafe etc. Whether or not this was a good thing to do is somewhat controversial locally.

Handled like a pro is number 5, the architectural photo that is , as it is superbly balanced for scale, nice B@W. Did you shoot raw and edit or jpeg in camera as the result is superb

Thank you!
I shoot in RAW. Processing (including B&W conversions) is done in Photoshop, and also usually a little Topaz Denoise. I try not to do anything radical in processing, but that architectural one had a little bit of perspective adjustment, plus I removed one small pillar on the pavement that I felt was distracting.

'I am no expert, but so far I am really happy with this K-3 ii ' Um, no expert... Aye, that'll be right. These are exceptional especially #1 and #2. I'd love to be this unexpert (is there such a word?) Excellent work and as Flan wrote, 'handled like a pro.'
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Those B&Ws are marvelous - and you've been hiding pictures like these from us for years and years! Join the regular posters and give us more please. As to the K3ii - great camera but always take a charged spare battery out with you as they tend to gobble them up. It wouldn't be the first time mine has caught me out.
