It looks REALLY good.On the start as you begin your kick you are raising your head slightly,not much,but it is slightly out of streamline.On the stroke I have seen some very fast swimmers with a stroke like yours(including you.) There are a couple of differences between your stroke and my mental picture of perfect.First is that I think you could get a little more power if you emphasize the insweep more.That seems the weakest part of your pull.Some coaches teach a strong insweep and some don't so if your coach disagrees consider me wrong.Similarly,while I recommend a relatively flat stroke,yours is flat even by my standards.I think if you kick slightly down more and flex your hips very slightly more(both up and down) you will get a better flow.Play with it and see how it feels.
