Here you go:   (http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx69/sparty44/DSCN1279-1.jpg)

Your draw elbow looks low to me.  Generally, it should be in line with the arrow as much as possible to maximize your strength against the force of the bow.  The shot from above looks good, your elbow is pretty much in line with the arrow, which suggests you're in your back.  Bringing your elbow up will help even more with that.

the draw arm is lower than needed though that will fix itself if you keep you head up .id rather see your drawing arm  back further so as u can fully engage your back start off by standing upright to work on you basic form structure your drawing elbow needs to be in line close isnt close enough it will cause you to creep and collaps try a more millitary type stance shoulders back and "T"stance. once you have a consistant strong base you can bend at the waist and knees if your shoot deems that necesssary.

Looks like you may be really leaning into the shot.  Try to bring the string to your face, rather than your face to the string.  I think maybe you'll get a longer draw, and you will be more in allignment.  Your son looks like he is on the right track! Good luck!

COncur,  looks like you are leaning into it. Right shoulder and right arm are forward towards the arrow.... try to get more upright,  you will gain draw length and your alignment will be better.
