I'd say that you have way too few models without any massive heroes to make up for this. If you want to keep 3 warbands still, drop the banner, max out your bows for the elves, drop the knights for some Galadhrim warriors and drop all/most of the equipment on your high elves but, but still max out your bows. Then take Erestor instead of your High Elf Captain.
If you don't mind having 2 warbands but still want elves and dwarves, I'd take Galadriel and Balin/Gimli (you decide) as your heroes for Galadriel's blinding light and other good spells too.

First off, I think the tone of what people were saying on your 'exposing the weakness of Harad thread' was that you "should not try to out shoot harad", not that you should not bring many bows. I dunno about other people but what I mean by 'not try to outshoot' was not to play the kinda game where you spend all your time camping within 24" focusing on bowfire as opposed to combat.
Elves are an army that you should almost always max out bows with, dwarves not so much, just because Harad will do more damage does not mean you should resign yourself to doing none.
Onto list criticism: Banner is unecessary, it reduces your bodycount by 3 models - which matters As Elrond pointed out - low bodycount with no major hero to compensate
Here is a list I just whacked up that keeps the theme but also features more numbers and a big centrepiece to keep everything 'fresh'.
Galadriel 12 wood elves with spear
Legolas 6 wood elves with bow
Balin 6 dwarves with shield
That list has magic, 8 more models than your last list, and more might. It may lack the 'punch' of cavalry but I honestly believe that more bodies and magic is a far more potent tool than 3 str 3 knights. Also, thanks to Galadriel you can cast blinding light and then comfortably shoot at the enemy with little risk of your dudes goin down (they can hide behind defence 7 dwarves just in case).
The list is by no means perfect but it is an OK example of what can be achieved if you really wanna maximise what you can cram into 500pts.
