I wonder whether the camera is too close to the image, perhaps? Do you have a close-up or macro setting you can try?

My suggestions, not knowing what camera you have, would be: to set a timer on your camera, or someone told me once to take a deep breath when your are ready to shoot/click, it temporarily steadies you. Some cameras have IS, image stabilization or if you have an SLR the lenses themselves even have image stabilization to help with clearer focus.
