First of all the edges are a bit ummm edgy or pixelated. Also, if you took the original picture, I suggest turning the flash on your camera off, and changeing the background lighting to get rid of the glare on the sword. There are a few white bits on the pommel and hilt as well. I think it is pretty good for a first, but you still have some ground to cover. Also, try to crop your image so that it does not take up that large amount of space on the screen. It gets rid of that blank spot on the left of the render. Another bit to do is put your name or tag on the render to mark it as your work.
It's very choppy first of all... And a bit blurry as well. Sorry, but I just don't like this render. Keep trying though. You will get better as you do more renders.
