a good rule of thumb is to always have a faster shutter speed than your MM of zoom. so if you are at 100mm, you need 1/125th or 1/160th. if you are at 200mm, 1/250th or 1/320th and so on. sounds like your shutter speed was a little slow for that shot. f/10 would have been plenty for that shot if not f/8 or even 5.6. f/8 will get most subjects completely in focus depending on what you are shooting and how far away it is.
