Post a bike photo from the side.
Stand away from the bike, about halfway between the handlebars and the saddle, and hold the camera at top tube height. That will minimize angle distortion.

Then you'll get useful comments about the bar angle, hood placement, and stems. Once you have some idea of where you want the hoods, there's a stem calculator:

Stem comparison tool
You can estimate your current stem length and angle -- measure the distance between the center of the fork steerer and the center of the bars, in mm (or inches and convert it.) Estimate the angle from seeing the calculator's angles. Some stems have both numbers printed on them.
