Short trip to forest

I’ve recently bought yet another lens as replacement for my Tamron 20-40mm. I wanted something suitable for low light situations and wider than Minolta 50mm F1.7 so I’ve chosen Minolta 24mm F2.8. Just after receiving package I’ve taken my new glass for some low light trip through forest. Below are results. All are handheld.
#1 Lets start our trip
#2 Some trees near small stream
#3 A bit different view at these roots

#5 I’d rather like to walk by the stream

Hawk,
These all seem to have a bluish cast to them. Is that my monitor or do others see it too?

Yes...and very, very dark on my calibrated monitor.

Bluish cast could be either because light conditions (it was really low light shooting in deep shadow), due to lens (I hope not) or I've simply chosen wrong camera settings. As for darkness I did it intentionally, but maybe I've gone too far into dark side
Both of my displays are calibrated using Adobe Gamma (but I guess it doesn't count) and I still see most of details in shadow areas.
