Quite a challenging asana and as you can see in the picture above, I need a lot of improvement. The back leg has to be flat on the floor, pelvis more forward and arched and a better back bend. A little more flexibility in the shoulders to be able to push the arms back is also required. The pose should be attempted only after a good asana workout. You'll feel a tremendous compression in the lower back especially on one side, so the muscles and ligaments have to be strong & supple to bear that. Follow it up with child's pose for sometime to relax the body.

Thank you for posting this, my fellow pilgrim. Wonderful! I remember you saying "effort is on." how true! It is indeed on.
I know what you mean - Baddha Padmasana/matsyasana/greevasana might be of help in the shoulders.
