You need to smooth out your soldier course. Instead of inserting little wedges, cut full size blocks. The curve looks a little rough. To establish and hold a curve I use a piece of 1/8" steel (or something else that can hold its shape), then curve it around, mark pavers, make the cuts, BANG.... a smooth curve. Also, I would have found a nice boulder to end the wall at instead of stepping it down like you did. It looks GREAT though.

Overall, very nice job though! The homeowner must be happy. Keep it up!
