But as you can see from pic 2 and 3 the trees and the edges of the photos seem to be out of focus or blurry. I would much rather have the whole picture to be crisp.

Looking at the EXIF on Flickr, you used a kit lens, wide open, with no digital lens optimization. You're going to get shallow DOF, geometric distortion and smearing in the corners with that setup.
You seem serious about your IQ, so maybe it's time to move up to L-series lenses, shooting in RAW and apply DLO to your shots during RAW conversion. Oh yeah, and use apertures that maximize DOF, not minimize. Really. You've got a good body and your demonstrating some good basic skills, so maybe it's time to pull out the wallet again.
Before you pull out the wallet, try similar shots with the same equipment, but shoot in RAW, stop the lens down to f/16 and apply DLO in RAW conversion. (You have LR, but Digital Photo Professional, that shipped with your camera, has excellent DLO modules).
