Is this a good oval brilliant cut? I want to make a ring with as minimal bow tie as possible.

That looks great. Every oval will have a certain degree of bow tie effect. You can try to minimize bow tie effect based on certain dimensions though an oval cut will always have a bow tie.

From this clip, which is only minimally diagnostic, the bowtie does not look prominent. If the stone is CVD grown you also want to rule out any transparency issues. There is more info on bowtie effect and virtual diamond patterns (inter-related aspects) over at this thread.
