Ed,

good photos are necessary for a helpful response. Ideally, they should be
 

- well focused, not blurry or foggy
- made with a dark, non-reflective background for good contrast
- made with light from the side (may not apply for HAMON photos)
- made from directly above (not at an angle)
- made with correct orientation (tip-upwards; this is most important when reading of a MEI is requested
- without HABAKI but showing the MACHI and NAKAGO JIRI 
- made with high resolution to see details
- showing details of the sword like BOSHI, HAMACHI, HAMON, HADA, NAKAGO JIRI etc.
- presented as cut-outs so very little background is seen

@ROKUJURO hi Jean,

Thanks for the guidelines. I did my best but my photographer skills are bad. The auto focus failed and manually focus also failed because of my bad eyes.

The habaki can only be moved a few centimeters. Tried to remove it but I don't want to damage the habaki.

@John C, indeed early fittings. @PNSSHOGUN John already mentioned that.
