You look pretty far forward already - I would perhaps experiment with moving the saddle back, as your not a triathlete are you?
Do you have a power meter? Mywindsock or Aerolab are pretty handy for experimenting and measuring changes, assuming you can find somewhere suitable to test.
Do you have any front on pics? I struggle to get my head down if my elbows are too close, moving them wider allows me to settle more, whilst still keeping my hands close together by angling the extensions.

So @Sainsburys_Ed 's post has re opened the idea of a position change. Suggestions and feedback welcome!
I have the same position (image attached) that I have used for everything from 10 miles to 12hrs this season. I feel that it's pretty decent, but my head sticks up to high above the line of my back. If I can hold it for 12hrs then I assume I could get more aggressive for 10's and 25's at least.
I don't think I can 'turtle' any more in this position and by looking at other riders, I think I have quite long upper arms. Already using a 110 -17 stem with the pads at their lowest. So I was thinking of testing the following -
I'm also beginning to think that my previous (damaged) Giro Selector was better fitted to my head/back position.
As I said, any suggestions/ideas welcomed.
