What you need to use is a "seamless texture" - Google for help, if it's something new to you.

Using a photo will 99% of the time never work without needing to use an image-editor like Photoshop or Gimp.

At the moment the left and top pixels are different from the right and bottom pixels, so you get a hard edge, which is visible as a repeating patch, instead of a smooth, constant texture.

here's an example of how to turn an image into a seamless texture - it's not the easiest of things though...
