The pedestrian is sharp, the text on the road is sharp, the building edges=s are sharp, the ridgeline is sharp.

Every bit of dark green foliage (in many parts of the image) is blurred.

This is not an optical problem. (or the all parts of the image would be affected)

This is not an image stabilisation problem. (or the all parts of the image would be affected)

This is an image processing problem.

I think the there is very little detail in the shadows because of the underexposure, and the JPEG conversion made it worse by reducing the dynamic range. On top of that there some noise reduction may be contibuting to lack of detail.

The underexposed green foliage makes up a big portion of the image, and so this is now very vissible.

My HDR merges always work significantly better when I start from raw images.
