i agree with goya, closer pics would help alot, try to trim or zoom your pictures and them cropping and resizing would help, you can first edit them on photoshop and then lastly on paint.
from what i can see, the NMM on the blade looks beutiful, NMM is very hard to get right, and if there were closer pics, i could see the other details that would make my vote higher.
still good job.
