Not to be picky and I'm sure the bow shoots fine.The unbraced profile looks good too,but your right[bottom?] limb is bending more midlimb then you left[top?] limb.I think it's because of your handle grip placement a bit myself.My eyes could be fooling me too and that can be a common look at full draw of these bows taking pictures.Maybe canted a bit too.
Is your top limb longer also?

Looks really nice with those knots! I have the same problem in the Netherlands, Osage is crazy expensive! Bends are nice but I agree with Beadman, your bottom limb looks like it is bending a little more then the top?

I think you are right with this. But since the upper limb has some knots and is a little heavier (slower) than the lower limb, i think its ok. The arrows are leaving the bow the way they are supposed to  ;)
@Beadman. bow lenght is 1,52m (unbraced), bow weight is 555g.
@Steve: Sorry, I cant follow  ;) The Knots are lined up because they grew lined up :o
