I've never been a baker of sweets, but I've been watching this post hoping to see a knowledgeable person answer you.
I just happened to talk to a retired baker and apparently his thoughts are too much air whipped into the batter. So you can whip less and/or gently tap the baking sheet to remove the air bubbles. I didn't get a definitive answer as to how you know how much to whip. I guess if you've done it for decades you know.
For what it's worth, I'd still eat the one you have pictured. Good luck on the next batch!
He gives several reasons for difficulties with macarons. Bruno Albouze is arguably the best chef on YouTube at the moment. His palette covers all menu items, and his speciality is pastry.
