Congrats on the new camera, and thanks for sharing your initial impressions with us.

What are you using for post processing? I know this is very subjective and largely up to individual taste, but there's a strong HDR type look in a lot of those images, and what looks like over-saturation with the blue (daylight from windows) rimlight on the people sitting at the table indoors. Likewise that last image has a similarly strong (to me) HDR look. I don't see this look in all images, though.

Do you have any unprocessed JPEGs straight from the camera that you're willing to share?

Thanks again, and best of luck with the R6 II!

I use DXO Photolab. I'm afraid I don't shoot JPEG, so I don't have any OOC JPEGs. I do a bit more highlight and shadow recovery than some people like, and the last one is certainly not to everyone's taste (that's why I posted the alternate version too). Colorado has a lot of blue sky, and colors are certainly different up here from how they are in some other parts. Sometimes people look at blue skies in my shots and think I've overdone it, but that's often the way the skies actually look here.
