Color correction critique

This was my first time shooting with my t3i, and we only filmed for about a half hour. I edited in FCP and used 3 way colour correction. I didn't really focus on editing either, I kind of just tossed these shots onto music. I'm more interested in how the shots look, so let me know.

Cheers,

First things first, it's not color correction, but make sure your shot's in focus.

As far as colors, there were a few times when you blew out your whites, when the two guys were diving in the second (?) shot they moved into the light so the proper exposure you had before changed to a white blob with no detail.

I would also suggest trying to get more contrast, not between values, but between colors. It almost seemed analogous, your greens were even redish, if you know what I mean. More contrast between the colors will provide a far more interesting image. There are exceptions here though. If you were looking for that ultra warm feel then by all means lean towards warmer colors.
