Pretty sure this is perfect, a couple nuances aside.
Tuning is actually open D -MINOR!- (DADFAd) but the UG team keeps changing it for some reason. capo on 1.

A little tip - you can actually tune the 3rd string to f instead of f# for a full D minor tuning, it doesn't change the fingering (since the string is never played) but it improves the resonance and reduces the risk of hitting a wrong note by mistake :)
