That looks very good, and now I'm hungry.
I've heard that boiling the water (with plenty of salt to raise the boiling-point), then turning the heat-off is good in that you don't have the same motion in the water that disturbs the white.
Grind pepper on your poached-egg for best pepper flavour.

Ive tried the 'heat off' method, it gets good results but takes quite a long time.

I think its easier to just turn it down to a VERY low simmer, so the egg whites dont get broken up.
