a biblical baptism?

We had a baptism a while back. I was standing in the doorway that leads directly into the baptismal pool and out of sight of the audience. When the minister took the lady down into the water, I noticed that her right elbow did not go completely under the water. It stuck out about a half an inch and then he brought her up.

I didn't say anything at the time because it didn't occur to me that there may be a problem. Now I'm wondering if there is a problem.

This is probably where legalism comes into play, but was this a biblical baptism? Are her sins still unremitted? Is she still a sinner? Does her salvation now depend on me notifying her that she needs to be baptized again?

If I'm the only one who noticed this, will God save her but send me to hell for not saying anything? You may remember how Chief Justice Roberts messed up on Obama's oath of office and they decided to do it again in private later that day. Should we do the same with this lady and baptize her again? Is it a case of "better to be safe than sorry?"
