I actually read once from a bike setup article that the end of the bar should point towards the rear wheel hub which is exactly what yours is doing.
I also prefer this position myself. At 47 I am less flexible than before and like to ride on the hoods. In the drops I also find it more comfortable with the bar ends pointed downwards. Davet suggestion is a good one though.
In the end you are the one riding your bike and you should be comfortable doing it. Don't worry about what other racer wannabees say or do. Looking at your bike you seem to be like me, long legs and short torso.
