Rich,
Will be blunt, but these aren't up to your usual top quality work.
Really lacking colour saturation which gives them a lethargic feel in my opinion. Its fine to process in argb1998, but when posting images for the web, convert them to srgb1966. Only a handful of monitors support the argb1998 gamut range - 99.6% only support srgb1966 spec. Where argb1998 comes into its own is when you intend to print your images. Printing RIPs do a better job of translating argb to cmyk, though I've also had great success with srgb printing to a RIP. I think your black levels aren't too bad and in all seriousness, you've got some acquired some lovely detail, but the lack of colour saturation really doesn't bring these two targets to the forefront. Perhaps a little contrast boost would may also help. Maybe a repro is in order. Some info on colour spaces can be found here -

Good to see you back. Don't leave it for too long. (People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones).
Cheers
