Follow the above advice.  Don't bend the bow any further until you see an even tiller.  What's your draw length?  Bet you'll be able to pike the bow and pick up some poundage when it's tillered.

Remember the fade area is under more stress than the rest of the limb so even on a pyramid bow (little or no thickness taper) the first couple of inches out of the fade are best left a shade thicker than the rest of the limb. If you make another bow like this make an 1/8th thick lam thants four inches longer than the handle lam and glue it inbetween.

That last shot is looking pretty darn good. The fade area bend seems a lot better. You got her bending more both mid limbs. First third of bottom limb looks a little stiff.  Looks like a tiny bit of hinge in the area just past mid limb on the bottom (could be the pic with shadows and angle). That could be smoothed out by getting the tip area just past it to bend more. A whisker more off both tips and you got her! Just what I see but I'm an apprentice here too.
