Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique

Would you be satisfied with this?  I know lighting plays a big part, but I think this is a pretty representative picture.  This is a micro ridge stylus.  It's pretty difficult to make fine azimuth adjustments on my arm, so I'm reluctant to mess with this, but if it's is not optimal, I will.

No grooves on the LP. The idea is a symmetrical contact with the groove, but looks ok. Don’t sweat it.

The stylus is on a reflective surface, not a record.  I'm not sure that having it on a record would add any value, would it?  If anything, it would eliminate the reflection which would be a worse way of looking at it.  Is it even possible to see the relationship between the stylus and a groove with anything other than an electron microscope?
