I'm going to go with Uh-Oh. It kinda looks like you came too far towards the inside, past the the line from the oil control ring. But I'm no porting expert, yet.

It just looks like the top inside corner comes in too far...where ARE the experts?? I'm so close to doing something radical like searching for the answer myself, I know there a thread with pics that lays it out somewhere. Heck I'm bored, I think I'll go look for it...

I don't think he has. It looks like the inside edge of the original port hasn't been touched but the extended part doesn't come quite as far in. Probably for just that reason... so he doesn't accidently go past the oil seal.

Okay, with a second closer look I'm going to give it an unoffical thumbs up. The first time I looked at the picture I had the brightness turned way down on my computer for watching movies, so with the shadows it looked like he had come down a 1/4" too far. I think I was looking at the wrong line the first time.
