Great shots, I particularly like the shot with the purple sea weed, was that the natural colour or some sort of reflection from the light.

I think your monitor needs calibrating MPH, I calibrate mine once a fortnight with a ColorVision ColorSpyder Pro, it sure makes a difference to what your eye thought was OK. If you're using an LCD monitor, which most people are nowadays, then it can be very difficult to set it up by eye, it was relatively easy with a CRT monitor. Laptop screens can be extremely difficult if not impossible to set up accurately, even with a colorimeter, some of the top end Dells and Mac screens are pretty good though. Bear in mind that any photo you work on using Photoshop or similar graphics software will save your image profile differently to what it will look like when posted on the web, it assumes you are saving for print or archive and embeds it's colour profile, such as Adobe RGB unless told otherwise. Images intended for use on the web should be saved as web JPEGS, this then gives the image an embedded colour profile as sRGB. If you then compare the image you saved as normal with the one saved for web you will see the colours are different, the web assumes it's own colour profile, (generally sRGB) on all images and wiil display all submissions regardless of colour profile the same. This means the image you worked on for hours in Photoshop etc, will not display on the web the way you intended.

Here's a web link that I found useful for monitor calibration info in the past.
