Hello I'm so new and hoping to improve but looking for constructive criticism

Hello,

Focus, your depth of field is too shallow.

White balance could be one of the reasons for the skyscraper, as well as converging lines.

DSC07626.JPG - the name "Navy Pier" should have resulted in an IP rejection

DSC01513.JPG - DOF is too shallow; since the leaf is the focal point of the image it should have been completely in focus

In order to review sharpness on your images, zoom in at least 100%, and inspect all areas of the frame. Viewing at standard size, particularly on a small monitor, can give you a false sense that the image is sharp.
