I'm afraid it looks wrong.
The uppermost two layers of spokes in your picture should cross over each other.
Have a close-up look at the other wheel pics posted. You can see the cross-over quite clearly, very near the central hub.
I can appreciate taking it apart again now might be a bit of a headache so if that's your first wheel, maybe leave it alone and use it as the spare in the boot.
Watch out more closely when you build the remaining 4 wheels...
Roy.

Roy. I'm afraid I can't find the post which shows the correct spoking. Could you reply with a pic so that I can compare, otherwise I'll dig the issue out again. Thanks for your patience with a newbie. Built: HMS Victory

I've attached a couple of very simplistic drawings of a pair of upper spokes. One shows how they should be fitted, the other shows your arrangement. Hope it helps. Roy. roymattblack attached the following image(s):
