Ben,
You have some really good things going on and some things that could use a little work. Only you can decide whether these suggestions are worth your attention or not; so here goes.
First, the good. Your bow arm is 90 degrees to your torso. Your general alignment at full draw is good. It looks as though the bow is pretty easily handled (draw weight). BUT, coaches always have a BUT! :D
As you lift the bow to draw, you lift your shoulders too. See how the space between your jaw line and your shoulder disappears? You lift both shoulders as you lift to draw and that is putting both shoulders in a weak position. Keep your shoulders down and back, level with the ground and ONLY lift the arms.
You have a very poor grip on the bow. The entire palm is laying on the left side of the grip and presses it to cause a strong torque on the bow handle at release and you are not letting the bow press into the base of the thumb. That is why you are getting that strong forward roll on the bow when you release -- top limb moves strongly forward. The entire bow, ideally, should move straight to the target at release -- no roll.
Rather than trying to type suggestions to help out, let's start with looking at my videos, where I show some of this.
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMoebow1/videos Look at the "bow hand bow arm part one" video first then move on to the "release tips" video.
See if they give you some ideas to work on, and let's try to go from there.
You are much closer to OK then this may sound, but I believe that there are some improvements you can make.
