I agree - no hinge from here (boy this is easier when it's not a bow I am working on!).  If you look at the full draw photo and blur your vision a bit, the troublesome spot disappears and the limb looks great.  That's going to be a sweet bow!

looks good, on the unbraced photo, ,the part that is deflexed looks a little thick,, I think you are good,, but keep in mind that spot is even tapered would work like the rest of the limb and be ok,, maybe I am not seeing it right cause of the photo,, but those spots will have the appearance of a hinge  because of the shape,, but if the taper is even they are working just fine,, that is one of the hard things about a stave like that,,, you can not go by appearance alone,, you need to really concentrate on the taper too,,, :)

Just a proper bend for the stave
