As said above, photos in your normal cycling position would be better. However, please have a look at my bike fitting primer, here: https://www.bikeforums.net/21296948-post3.html

Your goal is to look like the photo is post 2, although his back could be a little straighter. Note the angle between his upper arms and his back. That's what correct reach looks like.

Do as much of that as you can, then take more photos, one with pedals in line with seat tube, hands on hoods with slight elbow bend, another with pedals horizontal, hands on hoods, forearms horizontal.

Also, your back is hollow. It should be straight.
