Galadhrim Swordsmen

Here are my latest minis, a commission for a local collector, some Galadhrim Swordsmen:
Voting Link
I found the score a bit odd, under an 8, for minis I think are worth around an 8.5-8.6ish. Any ideas why? I know I had to rush taking the pictures, as I had to hand them off right after finishing them, so the focus and lighting are a bit off. (I really can't stand how half the bottom close-ups are in focus and the top is out of focus... blaaah! zoomed in too much ><)
Thanks for looking! I am open to any criticisms or critiques also, as I am always looking to improve my skills~~

I thought the nmm on the sword turned out better than the gold, I think they should be somewhere in the low 8 area. Their well done as a whole.if you reposted them you might end up with a better score. I often question why certain mini's rate certain scores, but what can you do?(paint marines?!)

Good nmm, especially on the swords. The blue is also well painted.

it's an 8.3 now. i would wait till it gets to more than 100 votes before worrying

pretty darn good i'd say, the nmm is shiny and the cloaks are very rich and velvety

I like the NMM all round, really nicely done. What colors did you use for the gold?

For my NMM gold, I went from P3 Battlefield Brown to GW Snakebite Leather to GW Bubonic Brown to White. I really never went all the way to white on my previous NMM, but decided to push the contrast a lot more and I am pretty happy with the result.
