lovely yellow.. look right here.
and yes I like the shallow DOF here!
for the colour profile try system preferences-displays -colour profile and if you aren't happy coose and adobe RGB one and then to advanced and go throught the rigmarole with all the grey squares it is worth doing 
Looks good to me also Kate,hope all goe's well, out of my realm.
Lovely blue/red flower, Kate 
. Excellent shape and composition with the leaf, and the presentation is just right.

Well captured Kate

A beautiful image Kate and a lovely presentation,well done..Lin
Kate. Viewing your image on my laptop (which is regularly calibrated) and the colours look clean and vibrant. After a few submissions and maybe a test print you will be confident the colour is to your taste. Most new computers are factory calibrated and are normally about right. Plus consider where you put your computer and when you process because nature and ambient light can make you screen look too cool or too warm. Really like this image, as said clean and vibrant. Nice background complimented by the colour and style of the framing. Lovely
Looks great on my screen. You have my sympathy I'd rather change husbands than computors Good sharp photo with excellent DOF. Well done

Stunning vibrant yellow capture Kate, beautifully presented
You need to calibrate you display. Is it a laptop, or a separate LCD screen?
Heres a link to a free online calibration tool:
http://displaycalibration.com/
There are probably a lot more. The best way to calibrate is to use a colorimeter, like ones made by Spyder and others. But this should get you started.
Its a good looking shot, - however, it would really stand out if the centre was sharper that it is here.
Are you sharpening your re sized and saved image before you upload?
Resize image: Image>Image size> set pixels per inch to 72; then set the longest side to what the site allows; then during the save as process, you will adjust the quality slider to get the right file size, then save.
Next: Open the new image. Check for sharpness at 100%. It will very likely need to be sharpened. You can use whatever method you prefer; here is a reliable method you can use:
Filter>sharpen>unsharp mask; set Radius = 0.8; set threshold = 3; now slide the Amount slider all the way to the right, which oversharpens the shot; then slide it slowly back to the left until it doesnt look soft, and doesnt look too sharp. You can view your image and turn Preview on and off to see how youre doing. When your happy, press OK, then SAVE. Now upload.
With the image sharpened it looks a lot better.
What a beautiful yellow flower Kate, I think this may be a type of daisy
