The best software that came with your 70D is Digital Photo Professional. You should shoot in RAW and use DPP to convert to JPG, adjusting Contrast, Shadows and Highlights as you do so. In DPP, activate Digital Lens Optimization for the lenses that you're using and it'll correct for geometric distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting, etc., at every focal length and every aperture. LR has lens correction, similar to, but not as powerful as Canon's, but Canon's is limited to Canon equipment. DxO Optics Pro is also another great solution for RAW conversion.

Vary your perspective much more. You were in a shitty location for backgrounds, so closing in tight, like you did, is a good strategy, but you've got to get lower. Vary your focal length, from very wide, to very long.
