Nice set - I particularly like 1 & 2. How do you find the Sigma 10-20? (I'm very partial to my copy)

The Sigma 10-20 is a stunning lens, one of my all time favourites; that said I don't currently own one as I opted for a Pentax 12-24 on my return to Pentax.
I haven't however discounted the idea of getting one at some point soon.

These are superb Drew, both the compositions and the excellent processing that has enhanced the mood no end. The first shot is an absolute classic.

These are really special I like all of them: they're so beautifully taken and processed but the first one is particularly eye-catching.
Best wishes,
Andrew

An excellent set - with numbers 1 & 2 being my favourites; however no 4 has great appeal as well

Processing wise the RAW images for each shot were processed twice using PSE 10, once for the skies and once for the foregrounds.
The jpegs were then merged into one image in Photomax Pro using the Fusion feature; then back into PSE 10 to be converted to mono and for work on the levels, curves and contrast until I was happy with the look.

Nice set Drew, the first one has a dreamy feel to it which works really well.
Botanical Gardens is probably my most photographed place, nice to see a different processing approach - gives me some ideas next time I'm there. Thanks for posting.

I can only add to the praise already given to this set. They are excellent. The K5+Sigma 10-20 is a dream combination, I've just started using my Siggy again after I rarely used it for a couple of years.
