Why?

Are you too forward relative to the spindles? weight to far forward?

Anti, if you just spend a few hours on this site searching on "fit" I'm pretty confident you can figure out the basics of proper fit. There is some pretty decent info here as well as other sources online. You make changes for a reason. IE my fore\aft balance on the bike is not right so I'm going to play with the fore\aft on my saddle (+ - stem) or I feel like my seat is too high\low so I'm going to lower\raise it or I feel too long\short so I'm going to try a shorter\longer stem or I have too much bar drop so I'm going to try adding some spacers and going with a stem with more rise.

Instead of making changes based on us looking at your pics make changes as based on your own assessment of comfort/efficiency/power after each of your rides. Finding your optimal setup will take time and miles.

You're going to extend the time it takes for you to discover your ideal fit if you make changes to your setup that are not done for a logical reason. I'm still kind of wondering about all that bar drop but what seems like a lot to me may feel perfect to you.
