The first thing I notice about that pic is that there's no subject to look at, it's 100% distant background.

It would be a big help to see some examples at full size to be able to tell what the issue may be.
Can you upload a couple of original jpg image files to Google Drive or similar and post a link here?
 
i cant seem to get it on google drive from my smart controller.
OK ... that image has what I was looking for to see what's happening.
The image metadata shows that the camera exposure settings were:
5.0 sec f11 ISO 100 and that explains the poor quality.

There's some movement which has caused the image to be unsharp with the shutter open for 5 seconds (a very long time in photography).

If you aren't familiar with camera exposure settings, here are some suggestions that should see you getting good exposure in future.
I'd recommend :
Setting the camera to use aperture priority
Set the aperture value of f5.6
This should be fine for most daylight shots (you can open the aperture towards f2.8 if you are shooting in low light).
Set the ISO to 100

Your camera settings should look like this:

Now your camera will select an appropriate shutter speed for the brightness of each scene and you should be getting much better results consistently.
Try that and report back if it's a big improvement or if you want more help.
 
One more thing ... 5 seconds at f 11 doesn't seem to be right if that was a daylight scene.
I wonder if you had an ND filter on the lens that cut the light level significantly?

If you are shooting stills (unless you have a specific reason to use an ND filter), they aren't going to help you and should be left off.
