A couple observations (NOT to say I could have done better...)
if you want to give it a try ... you might want to try hand sanding on the flats to eliminate those coarser grit grind lines that show up on the right hand side flat.
also - the edge looks a little concave towards the back. If intentional, good. If not, you can carefully change the profile by carefully grinding back the edge at the heel (NOT grinding the bevel, but holding the blade perpendicular to the belt, just like you were profiling) concentrating on *just* producing a convex edge. Then resharpen. Second build? ... great job!
You mean here? (Please ignore the sharpening oil and metal dust. Its smeared all over.)Workmanship and grinding looks excellent.
Unless the knife is for a purpose that needs a very wide and heavy blade, it would probably look and function better about 1/4" to 3/8" less wide. That is advice for the next blade.
Also, the sharp point at the heel is just asking to cut you. Put a small 45° facet on the corner to make it safer.
