agree 100% with wadafa both on the balance & getting rid of some of the lesser shots.
your photos will never look the same on screen as they do on the neg/slide straight out of the scanner. unless you want the scanner's version of how your photos should look you need to fix them up.
prime example is persona 7 ( http://www.dustinross.com/htmls/… ). i'm sure on the print/slide there are areas that are 100% black, but on the jpg the darkest point is only 83% black. that wouldn't be so bad, but with it being displayed on a black background it shows up really badly.
here are a couple of examples. they're totally overdone, because i only spent 10 seconds doing them:

but you get the idea, especially looking at the pavement/dogs head. the scanner's made yours just look really flat.
