Some posters maybe right about the d hanger being a bit bent, but pictures can deceive. Bike shops have a tool for checking and aligning d hangers and it usually costs around $10 to do.

Also, your housing looks a little long on the rear der. You want to have 1 single bend and it looks like you have 2. You might want to check that your housing coming from the shifter is also as short as possible. I hate to harp on it, but a lot of shifting problems are cause by the housing cable interface.

This is probably less advisable, but sometimes I just grab the derailleur and muscle it around to get it perp. to the cogs. Again, maybe not the best thing to do.

Also, is that all the tension you can get on your B tension screw? You appear to have a large amount of chain wrap so if you are experiencing poor down shifts that is probably the problem.
