Are you coasting in that picture? Your right hand is not on the extension, so not possilbe to properly judge reach (though the obscured left arm angle looks much better), nor your actual head position, but I can't imagine that would be your foot position if your leg were that extended under power.
Thanks to all of you for responding, I really appreciate that.
As to the reach, indeed the position on the photo in post #1 is not very typical, at least my right arm is retracted. So maybe the reach is ok anyway, I got two more pictures of that day; I'm sorry I do not have better pictures:
As to the saddle hight: I know it is still a couple (maybe 3 at least) cm too high, but I had once knee problems for which I put the saddle higher, and am reluctant to lower it. Last year I lowered it 1 cm (so it used to be even higher) and did not encounter any problems. Maybe I'll try this season to lower again 1 cm, which should be possible because I also have a spacer left under the stem.
As to the direction of the bars: horizontal feels very comfortable but I know for many people angled up is more aerodynamic.
And I heard once I should move more forward on the saddle but that's easily said: to change wrong habits is not so easy.
