A very interesting set of a much photographed site. Most of them don't work at all for me, but nos. 3, 8, 13 & 15 do. With something photographed as often as Clifton to get a set that attracts as many 'likes' as these have is some achievement.
It's also perfectly OK to not like any of them, as in the end it's subjective!

I agree with John when he says "I'm not sure that if one's current camera does what one wants it needs to be replaced."
However, I upgraded 4 years ago from a K-r to a K-5iis, and i justified to myself for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted the WR features of the K-5iis, and secondly I wanted better low light capabilities. I got both, and also a marked increase in image quality.
Am I tempted to upgrade again? Not at the moment, but I would never say never!

It's my 'go to' travel lens as well. It's light, with fast & accurate focussing and produces very sharp images for a lens at it's price point. The only downside - a little CA around the edges, but it's easily cleaned up (very easily in Lightroom!). It's also WR, which can be a bonus.
I'd definately recommend it.

I occasionally use a luminosity mask when i import images back into elements (12) from Silver Efex Pro 2. By changing the opacity you can alter the level of colour in the image, and hence the 'impact' of the SEfex Pro alterations.
I only tend to use this when i want to get an increase in the contrast and the structure (particularly the fine structure) in an image.
I'm not sure if this is really what you are after, but thought I'd raise in anyway.

Another vote for # 3, the standout shot in a very fine set. No. 7 is pretty tasty as well!
