Using the orange line, it looks as if the draw fingers are slightly below the line.
I would imagine that the string hand, when the forearm is relaxed, is being pulled upwards under your jaw. I would say that is better than having a tendency to drop away from the jaw; as it COULD if the elbow was too low.

The other pics, mostly, show orange above red, perhaps for that reason.(too low could be damaging to hand/ jaw contact.)
Lowering the elbow a little would line up the wrist more closely to the line of the forearm, that in turn could help with a slick release, if better relaxation resulted from the change.
