The shank is a slow curve on the bottom, no matching curve on the top, so that's the only thing that draws my eye - is it a straight bent shank or a curved bent shank? Neither, and therefore it could have been better (in one direction or the other).
I agree with Sas (gasp!), however, I would say the bottom line is the one to go with. A nice, elegant curve on the top would make for a very attractive flow in the shank and stem. I would disagree about the heel though; I would round it out just a bit so it's not quite as pronounced. Not a critical point though.
Your stem/shank junction needs a bit of attention. If you could sand and buff them together/more that would be helpful.
Shame about the flaws, but it's still a nice pipe.
