I think that the elbow is dropped and that he is over-rotating putting the shoulder in a very "weak" position for the pull. |

Over rotated maybe but overall I think he has a good position. Nice extension in my opinion. His head is close to the extending arm so that means that his body is in a relatively good position for the next stroke. |

I think he is in great postion, with no over rotation at all. His left butt cheek is just breaking the surface. The top of his head, left shoulder and his butt are on the same plane, and he appears to be very well balanced. His eyes are looking down. His right cheek pressed to his right shoulder and his head is in a very solid position, with just the top at the waterline. His right forearm/elbow/upper arm and shoulder are exteded well and in ideal alignment to begin the catch.
