Not too bad . . . Looks like you might beleaning away from the target on your back leg a bit - want your weight to be about 60% on the balls of your feet and about 60% on your front leg. Otherwise looks pretty good.

Looks like you might have to much of your palm into your grip but it is hard to tell from that angle.

If it was me, I would get a different release so my thumb is under my jaw. Little closer to the loop.

^ i have new pics with different grip and the new stance, what i am doing in the stance is i am leaning into it, am i doing this right? you will see it in the pics, and i tried using less palm in my grip but it hurts sort of when i pull my bow back. what is so bad about the palm, will it cause torque??

its the way i am holding the release, should i have my thumb under my jaw for a second anchor point? O and in the new pics i know in both pictures my fingers were in different places, but that is because i am not used to gripping the bow that way.

Its really a personal preference. But I always want to have my thumb under my jaw and nose on the string. Your DL looks fine, but thier are alot of releases out there that will bring you closer.
