I like the bowl shape quite a bit. The bottom line of the pipe looks good. The top line (mid stem to button) needs a little more material removed. makes the stem look too fat through the bend. The best way to approach the top line is to actually have your shank taper from the bowl to the stem. It helps with the top/bottom view of the pipe as well. We're not talking a huge amount (mine usually taper about 1/16" from bowl to stem) but just enough to help set the lines of the shank and stem.

Again, I apologize for not seeing this earlier, but as noted on your Author post, I couldn't see the photos on my iPad.
I think Scottie nailed my observation on your stem. I actually was thinking about Scotties stem treatment when I looked at these photos(I have 2 of her Princes)
Nice pipe.
