    Nice landscape, I really like the wide crop-angle.

    There is only (maybe) a slight cyan color cast...?

    To prevent casts before taking a photo, adjust the "white balance" setting in-camera.

    To fix a cast after the photo is taken, use the "colour balance" tool in a computer image-editing program. I don't know which particular program you use, but most will have this tool.

    Here is a screenshot of GIMP's:

    Drag the cyan-to-red bar across toward the red end, until colours start to look better. You could also try any automated color-correcting functions which your software program offers.

    No problem...

    One more thing I forgot, add some yellow into the mix too. (Drag the yellow-blue bar toward the yellow end).

    The first one definitely has a White Balance problem. I don't know how elements works exactly, but most editing programs have a white balance tool that lets you put an eye dropper on a portion of the image that should be white(not bluish)and will adjust the color accordingly.
