1) sorry i had to delete the first one, there were two on youtube and i deleted the wrong one.

2) my wife swears loudly in the end and i did not know until today. I am sorry.

You are pointing your toes but not applying that tension through your legs. Point the toes, tighten (flex) your quads and your butt hard. Turn around and work this with your belly to the wall, it helps alot with staying hollow. Your shoulders look pretty open from what I can see. You also just need to keep practicing, it doesn't look bad, you just lack body tension through your legs which makes you loose the hollow body.

Unfortunately< i think i was more focused on being straight. usually when i do them i keep ym legs so tight my quads and butt get that deep burn like i am doing leg exercises, but apparently i did not do that in this video. thanks!

At your stage of development I prefer for you to be performing the toe touch HS with your stomach facing the wall. This will allow you to hinge only at the hip which maintaining the correct bodyline. Overall however, the initial handstand position looks promising.
