I would prefer to see the sheath flipped over from left to right (personal preference). Like the fact that you're thinking outside of the box and trying different compositions. Image #2, the angle of the shot makes the blade, sheath appear tilted. I am assuming you were taking the picture with the camera tilted, trying to get everything in focus and this is what I am seeing. I would also like the sheath flipped over from the top. I think it would improve the overall image and without the inset. I would maybe try a composition with the knife and sheath separated a little more (side to side).
Here is another take on your picture. A simplified version.

Thanks for the comments Barbara,
Actually the second shot was taken,like the first,in portrait.When I down loaded the photo it was landscape ???? Why I don't know,so I just left it that way.
Your right about the pheasant feather, I must have moved it 10 times.
