We really need some more pics to give accurate advice. A front and unbraced side view would be helpful. From the pic you posted, the left limb is a little flat and the right limb I can't say for sure but could be flat between two knots or kinks. It's kinda hard to tell from that pic alone.

Left limb looks good to me till about mid limb then it seems a bit stiff. Right limb looks a little stiff right out of the handle then it almost looks like a little bit of a hinge a third of the way out then gets a little stiff again but take what i say with a spoon of salt I'm really new to bow making my self and just learning also. It would help to have a few more pictures though.
