Cool dog!
The one thing that stands out is excessive hand rotation, with a complete breakdown of wrist angles through impact. This is most noticable as you hood the club with your right wrist in the follow-through. This looks to be an effort to close the clubface from an OTT position, which would result, as Lyle said, in a delofting of the clubface at impact. If you let the clubhead get ahead of the left shoulder, you will have a nasty smother-hook. Otherwise, your predominate ballflight is a pull.
You have a tendency towards inconsistent contact, since your swing is so handsy. When you make good contact you hit the ball a ton. But you suffer from more than occasional fat shots. Your upright swingplane lends itself to diminished sidespin, so I doubt you have a big problem with slicing the ball. But you do have the occasional where-the-heck-did-that-slice-come-from?
Great post. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the better golfers here analyze your swing. Lyle is a professional clubfitter, so his thoughts are very valid (yes, I did read his post, but not before immediately seeing the wrist issue I noted.)

"Maybe he could sell it on Ebay, say it looks like the Virgin Mary, Sergei Fedorov, or Leno."
