I took the liberty of drawing an ellipse over your pic. Not to say that the ellipse is a "correct" shape, but just to aid in seeing symmery if that helps. I do think that your corrections should stay away from the center third. looks like just some minor tweaks to get you good. :)
Bob W.:
Excellent, Thank you Willie!

Ah! This shows up the problem with the "Ellipse". There are an infinite number of ellipses! And a badly fitting ellipse is worse that pointless.
No one actually has ever defined how elliptical the ellipse should be and that's my big beef with the whole thing! >:(
IMO, arc of a circle or slightly elliptical is fine!
Here's my Ellipse... it's nearly a circle but not quite and it's near perfect IMO :)
Here's another one too, I think they both show the left limb being a hint stiffer which is fine if that's the lower limb.

Del, that ellipse seems to match up pretty close, the left limb is the bottom so I am good there. Thank you, Bob!

I've just measured the ellipse (in MS Paint) and it's 805 wide and 735 high, so it is a bit elliptical... dunno what to do with those numbers or what they really mean ::) except it isn't a circle ;D
I think it illustrates how "elliptical" is hard to quantify meaningfully.
