I'm not sure what you mean with the word "vibrated"...smart sharpen, set to motion blur while moving the compass in PS might help.

it looks like your shutter speed was too slow and you had a slight shake. try using a minimum of 1/80 shutter speed and you should see better results.

Well, there is:

Might help. You have motion blur.

One of the keys to photography is developing steady hands! As a photographer, it is important to disassociate yourself from the excitement, at least at the moment of pressing the shutter. I can tell that, with good skills, your shot could have been perfect, and I assure you developing steady hands (and body, much like a sharpshooter) for shooting pays dividends.

How do you do that? Are there exercises or techniques that can help? I have a problem holding steady when I use my big zoom. Sometimes even bracing I can't seem to stay steady enough and you don't always have time to set up the tripod.

just like sharp shooting, prior to pulling the trigger, take a deep breath, stop in the middle of your exhale and shoot. Other ways to steady your camera, bring your elbows in tight to your torso or purchase a tripod or monopod to help you.

The comments here are on track. In my heyday I could handhold a 200mm lens at 1/8 second exposure and be tack sharp with no help from bracing. I used to shoot theater, which made this necessary.

Also, use what's around you for support. Walls, chairs, pews, floors, columns, fences, cars, and much more can serve for the planting of elbows or forearms to create a tripod out of your body... Attached (also elsewhere here) is a handheld shot at more than one second exposure, where I used a metal and concrete fence to get handheld bracing. This was slide film, ISO 64, or maybe 50.

Looong Exposure, over 1 second, handheld using available bracing.

I ran a search on YouTube on camera holding techniques and came up with these http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Camera+holding+techniques&aq=f

a tripod will also go a long way towards steadying your camera..

Carry a monopod with a quick release bracket so you can take the camera on and off quickly.

I am 87 years old and still take Tack Sharp Photos.
I use a neck strap, adjusted so that i can have pressure when the camera is in the 'shooting position'. Then, holding the camera steady GRADUALLY increase pressure on the shutter release until the shot is taken. Good luck
