Default Experienced Archers Help Request Now W/After Shots!

Ok, I've been working on my shooting every other day to build my shoulder back up and now its time to ask for help/honest opinions of experienced archers.

1. How is the form? When I started shooting, the only guidance I got was make sure I put the quick release against my jawline in the same place every time.What do I need to do to improve it (Photo 1)?
2. For 30 yard shots, is this deer dead in a timely manner (Photo 2)?

The first thing I notice is that you are leaning back, quite a bit.

You're leaning back a bit too much. Relax that grip. I can't tell whether you're really "palming" the grip or not, but your fingers should be relaxed (not sticking straight out). Your bow arm almost looks a bit hyperextended, but it could be the clothes. Not sure if it's the angle, but you also seem to be bringing your head down and in towards the string instead of keeping your head straight and level. Those are just some things I noticed, but just a note, I'm not an "experienced" archer, although I've had some very knowledgable archers critique me. Nice shots on the deer, though...they're all pretty dead deer with those shots.
