I love constructive criticism, and so I really want to know exactly what you mean. Thank you!
Well... when you increase the brightness, the colors become more whitish. When you increase the contrast, the colors become brighter, more coloured and less whitish. So, i was suggesting you to adjust this 2 variables (increase contrast or decrease brightness) for make the colors more vivid, more coloured, and less whitish.

And this new pictures are amazing! The 2nd (deep red) and the two blue/purple ones are beautiful! The red and one of the blue must be among the 5 choosen ones, as for me they are the best of them all!
