Well, the lack of a second edge grind means that edge is a huge PITA to maintain, and the curvatures of the grinds don't match. The second image is a straight-line grind, and the first has a curve to it. Additionally, the second picture shows that the grind goes below the edge of the knife and into the handle / finger guard area.

My suggestions would be to:
- Add a sharpening choil
- Keep your angles/curves consistent
- Utilize a secondary bevel. Remember that a good knife needs and edge that can be maintained.
 
looks to me like you're better at grinding the left hand bevel than the right hand bevel.
Just concentrate and practice!

Just go to the thread of "what knives are you carrying today?" A knife needs a second bevel, which is basically the edge portion. A knife without the second bevel,, like the one in your picture, once ding'd or becoming dull, would require the removal of way too more steel to bring its sharpness back. Another issue, which I think is more important, is the edge is too weak because it is usually too thin or the dps is too small (without a second bevel).

You need to pull the handle towards yourself as you get to the curve to follow the curve. It's a little hard to explain.
I hope this helps!
