There could be a few factors going on beyond your control though. Most web browsers ignore colour profiles and these files shown on the blog have been copied and rendered down to a different size. On the trip down, the math in the Rendering Intent can pull some tricks. Also, all monitors are the weakest in the reproduction of the deepest zones of an image and you not only should calibrate your monitor, but you should also do a manual black point check to be sure you are looking at a reasonable facsimile of the image. At the judging of the images, the equipment is very carefully calibrated and profiled and viewed on 27" monitors at full resolution with no interpolation. That is the best way to view any of these images and in fact the only time you can truly make an informed decision on the quality of the file and fully appreciate it.
