Mersa, you have a nice relaxed form that is good for accuracy. But, in my opinion, if you are looking for more power I think your elbow leads a bit early. If you can throw your left arm out and back (like a baseball pitcher) to stretch the chest, the right upper arm should be be parallel with the shoulders while your torso rotates during the beginning of the pull, This allows the arm to do more work at the end of the throw. The leading of your elbow is good, but just too soon. (Disclaimer: This is just my opinion after looking at my own form to try and correct it and seeing what baseball pitchers do as well as and Luis and Sarosh).
The goal is to lengthen the power stroke to apply force to the projectile (acceleration) for as long as possible. This is what allows baseball pitchers to get to 100 mph fastballs, they have a really long power stroke. You want the sling to go through as much path-length as possible with maximum force along the entire path.
