To me both are just fine !

i think there is too much arch  - no protraction in shoulders. 

Also, there is a curve from your toes to your head, you should eliminate this curve and make it  more of a  straight line.

yes i should put my head back in the line.......... but umm can you explain that no protraction in shoulders part ?? i didn't understand that .... aren't you supposed to try to retract actively during a front lever which will give you widened scap position ?

Scapula should be in natural position in fl. :)

EDIT: If you relax your scapula and dont retract it in front lever it will naturally protract so you want to pull your shoulder blades back (retract) only to point where they are in neutral/natural position.
