I like that miniature the most. Although you did fine details in the art of traditional japanese art (sumi-e) for the cherry blossom, some details won't fit that fine detailed work. E.g. the light reflecting hair, which comes irregular when drybrushed. Maybe some fine detailed blackening inbetween the gaps of the hair will repair the disturbing result. You did a good job on withering the brass nobs on the pole as well as on the head's ornament, but than the white blade tears that a little down. For the small picture of the back, you show us a nice shaded cape, but why not joining two pictures together? Would have given gladly a 7 when those cutbacks wont remain.
