How's he doing?

its hard to tell from the angle of the image ....but it still looks too low down on his waist

Might still be a little low on the waist. Everyone's different, but I like to be able to feel my navel just below the belt buckle.

It's hard to tell in the photo, but it might be a little long too.

With the greatest respect, the honest answer is, no. If, and it is his choice after all, if, he wants to be somewhere near "correct" the bottom of the kllt needs to be no lower than the centre of the knee, to the top of the knee would be better. Try moving the kilt higher and don't worry where the top of the kilt ends up.

Thats the way I look at it, the bottom is where it is, and where the top winds up is where it winds up.

I have to agree here, as well. And, after all, that aproach has a historical precident to go with it, as kilts used to be made selvage to selvage(on hand woven, single width cloth), regardless of how tall the gentleman in question was. If the fellow was not particularly tall, the top of the kilt could well come up over his floating ribs.

Also, being, for the first 24 or so years of my life, a gentleman with a bit of extra armor around my midsection, I can tell you that kilts can sometimes fit such geltlemen differently than than they do gentlemen with less armor(see attached picture for what I'm speaking of and how I wore my kilts). With that in mind, may I say that, judging from the attached picture and all belly button notions aside, to achieve a more conventional effect, he might think of wearing his kilt about 4(+ or-) inches higher, therefor helping his kilt to fall at a more conventional length. He'll likely find that he's more comfortable, when wearing his kilt higher, as the kilt and belt will not need to be as tight, in order to stay in place.

Again, though, it's all about what the wearer is comfortable with; at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

I hate to sound repetitive, and the shoes are classic lol, conservative length would be middle of "kneecap" a bit less cnservative would be just above the kneecap. Hose four fingers below the middle of the kneecap. The kilt should barely brush the ground when he is on his knees
