A lot of your images are underexposed. An extreme example:
http://www.joostschuttelaar.nl/pev/friday/Pages/16.html - there's almost 
nothing above 50% in there. -1 EC would give you exactly that result... 
;-) I wouldn't go below -1/3 with your gallery - that should give enough 
safety margin to avoid blown highlights. Most DSLRs seem to meter on the 
safe side anyway.

While dark might be your chosen style, it's not consistent across the 
gallery. Auto mode is good, but I find that I always end up tweaking 
anyway - so I just shoot RAW format to give me the full editing options.

Bye
Martin
