the point of focus in picture 2 seems to be slightly in front of your doll

were you using a tripod to eliminate camera shake?
also try using manual focus and auto focus

did u change the selected AF point accidentally?

your SLR would have a number of selectable AF points.
Re-do the test using single point AF (preferably the centre pt).

Use flash as well to eliminate handshake, of course would be best if u used a tripod AND flash.

If it is still out of focus, send back the lens/camera for servicing.
