Sorry, but what 1358 says is untrue. I shoot traditional longbow. The arrow is where it should be, fletches wont tear of because the arrow flexes around the bow on release. The bow in the picture looks to be a reasonably powerful beastie so holding the string on the tips of the fingers would be impossible, the string should be between the 1st and 2nd joints of all three fingers shown. However, the hand should be turned slightly to show this. Only other fault i can see in the pic is that the left shoulder is perhaps a tadge too high or the hand too low. The weight (pull) of the bow should be perpendicular to the bow arm for steadyness and the bow should be at 90 degrees to the ground. Great expression though.
