They don't look all that bad to me.  It's more thin DOF than softness.  You should stop down to f8 or so for the landscape shot.  Try not to focus and recompose when you do want thin DOF such as shooting the portrait.  I always use AI servo with AF point fixed on the subject eye when shooting at wide aperture.  There are enough AF points on 7D to allow you do this and still be able to frame the way you like.
