Throat a little weak and the tie in point is peeking out. You wanna learn to tie wings, try 5 wings, I'm nuts.
Can I get a Hal-Lay_Lu_Ya

Jim,
She's a beaut! I particularly like the side / cheek combination against the background of the colors in the wing. My observations would be a perceived imbalance (slight) from the body segment size decrease toward the head and the length of the throat vice the last under-wing and the first butt from the head. That said, great work!

NIce fly Jim! This stretched shape is looking good. Maybe just little bit skinny body, but that is only to my taste.
Is it kinda bustard sub in the wing? Looking very similar to what Jens is doing.

I don't think writing on the under body and using a ruler is cheating if you want perfect body segments.
