You certainly make very effective use of your new acquisition. The first four pictures are very nice. The last one (the exterior view) shows one of the disadvantages of such a lens, though: the only way to avoid distortion, as you have done, is to include way too much foreground in the picture. Of course you can crop that away, but then you are not really using the full field of view. That is why I prefer the interior shots.
