bikes and beauty

I went to a fashion/bike rally in the little town where I live. There were bikes from all over, but I was there because my daughter was in the fashion show. However, the show was in the street, the sun was setting behind the buildings creating horrible shadows, I had only one choice of my location. And, I didn't have a flash. Given all those parameters, I will show some of the photos, and I would like constructive critique.
On my IPS monitor at home, these look bright and crisp. Now, on my old laptop, they all look gray. Please tell me its the monitor, and not that I have to go back and reprocess them.

I see two photos of the same girl. Is she perhaps your daughter? Lovely.....

I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. Would you tell me what they look like on your monitor?

If you hadn't mentioned about them being gray, I wouldn't have given that a second thought. But, I had to go and look at other postings to get a basis for comparison. Yours look just as good as the others - no grayness.

on some there is a little variation in skin tones like your white balance could be tweaked. for example the 1st photo the woman to the right seems bluish. could be the shadows or my monitor or my aging eyes, numbers 2.3.and 6 look perfect. 4 and 5 seem a little blue in the face. perhaps bump the warmth with white balance, hue, or a warming filter. composition is great, they all express emotion well.

Use a higher aperture to isolate the subjects from the background and give beautiful bokeh.
