Right off the top of my head it looks like you had a very long distance between your trees. The longer the distance the higher up the trees you need to tie. I think most people try for a distance around 12-15 feet (4=5 meters) Your's looks somewhat longer than that. It would also make a difference what the webbing is made out of. Nylon webbing has quite a bit of stretch to it as opposed to polyester or polypropylene. There's lots of threads comparing the various webbing materials with their pros and cons.
Nice view.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Rev is right, looks like you should pop the straps up the tree a good little bit for a steeper angle on them. Looks so nice there, and right by the stream.

What they said..or pick different trees. My tarp is 12 feet long so I want trees at least 13 feet apart, up to 16-18. My only two trees in the backyard are 25 feet apart and my straps are way up in those trees..like 8 feet up.
