As long as they aren't woody inside then they are fine.

They look like Danver's Half Long or a similar variety. Those varieties have the cone shape rather than the long cylindrical root of some other varieties. Your crop looks fine, but if you want to harvest some sooner in the future, you can. Young carrots make for a tender taste treat.

All to do is to it one. If it taste woody and dry then you picked them too late but if it is normal then it is NORMAL. !
To me they look fine. The tops are still green and alive.

The long skinny varieties that are sold in supermarkets are some of the least flavorful that you can grow. My favorite is the Red Cored Chantenay, but there are many others that are quite good. Let us know how they taste. The photograph that you have posted looks like very healthy and delicious carrots. Contrary to what some people believe, young carrots are not always tastier than more mature ones. The flavor and sugars develop with maturity. See the following website for much more on carrot culture. Click on "Techniques", then on "Carrots".
