Starting to get a bit adventurous stig, some vivid colours in there, the combination is good, just needs a bit of toning down and maybe a less is more approach with the same colours and maybe purple thread for the head and you might have a winner there.

Nice fly and colour combos bit long in the fibre for most of the hackles cut the purple one down by a half and reduce the others and should look better
