Looks like you have eliminated camera shake from the equation. Now the focus is just a bit soft in the foreground due to a short depth of field. My guess is you've got a point and shoot? Assuming you do, and you cannot control the aperture of the lens, the best way to keep everything in focus is to keep the subjects you want in focus equidistant from the lens. Unfortunately, such angles are typically boring.

But the pic looks very nice as is, and I often find that a shorter depth of field allows for a more artistic look.
