HI James, well a very nice point is that the movement is symmetrical from the front view. now i'll divide the adjustment between upper and lower:

upper: 

-notice that from the front view you tend to finish every rep with bent elbows. strive to lock them out every rep;

-from the side view appears an uncomplete top position where basically you need more protraction. every rep ends with the body completely pushed off from the floor. if you can see the edges of the scapulae than there is not enough protraction.

lower:

-you need to improve the hips extension, how you can make it? well, you should reach the floor with hips and chest every rep. if you cannot feel the hips touching the floor than the hips are not extended.

Thanks I'll work on that!

Wow, concentrating on protraction for push ups and planks I had to go back a step on both exercises.  Could be just me but with full protraction pushups are almost twice as hard.  I was flabbergasted the second set had me struggling to get 9 repetitions!

Thanks @Alessandro Mainente
