I really like the textures and tones in this image, but if I'm being very critical I agree with JibbaJab. My eye wants to be lead to the blade, but it is caught on the hilt and the bright sand it's resting in.
[edit]
A thought, perhaps boosting the brightness of the end of the blade to match the base of the blade would balance the subject's tones out a bit?
