Hello!
I've asked earlier - why her right elbow sticks so far to the right?
By my experience, - this creates unnecessary muscle tension leading to uncomfortable feeling and excessive tremors. It is better (again - by my experience) to set ones elbow against the chest. Much more stable sextant this way.
Warm regards,
