That picture is a whole different ball game. I am again going to refer to heavy fly or windy conditions. Not seeing what is behind him, he might be just slapping the fly out which happens all too often.
To do a roll cast, he is in the right possition, but the loop on top is not neccesary. Just bring the rod straight up, letting the line fall to your side or slightly behind, then with force, point the tip where you want the fly to go and watch the line unroll.
Pictures are a little tuff to tell. A video would tell all.
Also, I can't tell for sure but it doesn't look like the slack line is in his left hand, so I think he is lobbing it out[crazy]
