RE: well since everyone is doing it lol
Your draw length is fine.
Shorten up the release a half inch to an inch to get it tucked in to your face.
You are droping your bow arm. If you are aiming down at the ground like that you should also be bending at the waist and not droping your bow arm.
Push your bow arm out like you are trying to push it free from your release. This will create good back tension and straighten out your bow arm slightly but now so much that it will lock your arm.

Not to pick on any one person, but a snapshot can only show so much. So much more can be seen from a video thoughout the shot processtaken at different angles including overhead.

Form is great but if your punching the release or torquing the grip form goes out the window. the only way to tell this is to have someone watch you or video it.

You need to post full length pictures to see complete body alignment, but I can see from what you have that the bow needs shortened approximately 1/2-1" and the release needs shortened a bunch, You are over extended by approximately 2" or more (drawing elbow is way below the right hand and the forearm/wrist area is bent. The draw ing arm should for a straight line from the elbow right to the hand, and preferrably right up through the arrow as well. Also the knucklewhere your index finger meets the hand is behind your ear. The farthest it should be is right in the little nook under the ear lobe. You're also leaning back at the waist. All indications of being way over extended.
Loop can be shortened a lot from what I'm making out. Wrist sling might be a tad tight which can create torque. Can't tell about the grip.
Need pistures from the front and back as you have, just full length including the feet. Also one from behind youlike looking at the targetand slightly above you would be nice to see just how that right arm lines up.

i would try shortening your release, and it looks like your arm is down it should be up, you should bend at your waist, and maybe you DL is too long, but other then that if you shooting good, and your comfortable, it looks pretty good.
