I noticed the focus point being near his knee or shoe but I was focusing on his head when I took the shot. One big reason I decided to move up to a new DSLR was that the focus point on the Olympus was always slow to pick up and more pictures were out of focus than not in a typical shooting session.

The camera was on full on auto on an overcast day which should have been an ideal situation for some easy photographs.
If you were focusing on his head then that camera has a front focus problem, you might want to get it checked. Did you have multiple focus points enabled or just the center one? (I've never used an E10 so I don't know how the focus system works in that camera). On new DSLR's you can select which focus point to use, I use the center one exclusively to avoid the camera choosing where to focus, which will always be the area of the subject with the most contrast.
