Beat me to it.
I was wondering about the mechanical aspect.
Looks like pannier is fixed to a wire basket and pannier gets rather full.
No cross-bracing visible but that would restrict access to the basket.
Also likely to put a strain on the basket fixings.
If there's anyone other than he, me and thee on the list it'd be worth taking bets on what goes first and when.

It looks like a silly solution to me. You have raised your centre of
gravity for no good reason. You could have got a carrier with extended
side rods which stop panniers flopping around.
Also, you should tie your panniers down so that they can't fall off on
rough paths. It helps to stop them being snatched by van drivers
stopping alongside you at lights or youths on motor scooters. (It
happens in cities.)
