Is my saddle too low?

Last week I swapped out my fat@$$ Bell saddle with my thinner Specialized saddle that I bought shortly after the bike about 6 years ago. I put the Bell one on there last year due to some soreness I was having with the Specialized, but now I'm starting to like the Specialized one again.

Anyway, I did have to raise the seat post due to the difference in saddle heights. I'm thinking my saddle may be a tad too low but I'm not sure, and I don't have a lot of seat post left. When stopped I can set my toes down on the ground on one side while still on the saddle. If I lean the bike over I can place one foot flat on the ground. Does that mean the saddle is too low?

I guess I may have to look into a longer seat post.
