All I can say is that your jumping position is far superior too mine and that your horse is jumping beautifully. If I could jump half as well as you appear to be I'd be ecstatic. :D

Are you leaning your elbows on the front of the saddle? Sure looks like it from that angle. Nice horse though!:D ;)

Actually HC you are on the right lines. Lower leg is very good. Fold is slightly more than necessary. But (theres always one;) )
You are using your for arms to support yourself on the horses neck. This is because you are folding more than you need to and are going too far forward. Slide you bum back abit and fold a little less. This will give you a better balanced position and help the horse. Going forward too far can be disasterous XC as the horse can stumble on landing which will pitch you even further forward and probably off.
Overall though a good position that just needs some fine tuning.:D
