Is this Squat too deep? Any other critiques of form will also be appreciated.

There will be an article about this Tuesday.
I assume the OP is making a joke, in which case it's not bad at all
So I was fully expecting an article on the dangers of bare footed squatting but instead Tuesday rolled around and the only article that dropped was called "How I Tried to Prove Mark Rippetoe Wrong"
My days of trying to prove uncle Rip wrong are however, well past me as evidenced by this brand new pair of Chuck Taylors I immediately went out and bought.
Anyway, I tried cutting off the depth a bit higher. Please let me know if I'm doing these right. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Also feel free to post appreciative comments about these fresh new shoes
Thanks Mr. Rippetoe. I was looking in the articles section of the website and I guess this was posted in the training log so I missed it. High quality stuff as always.
It seems the Chucks aren't really optimal for weightlifting given the criteria you laid out but at the very least they do not have the easily compressible cushioned sole of most trainers.
I take your silence on the Squat itself means that I have executed it flawlessly.
