You are definitely getting there. It appears that the flow lacks some
viscosity- it looks sort of watery. Might be the distortion from the
faceting of the glass, but this early in the pull I would expect the
flow to be thicker- more viscous. Much more like warm honey than
water.

The top 3-4mm layer on the crema also points towards a possible
problem. I don't remember seeing that on any of my pulls. it looks
sort of foamy. It might be part of what is causing the above viscosity
problem.

Too long pour - it's the end thin bit, and pale. Next time, cut the shot as the stream lightens. Hopefully you'll have 1.5floz or slightly more, if the grind is right.
