Done a nice job of tying the fly! Although it looks more like a March Brown or a brown sedge pattern than a Mallard & Claret.

Have you got any other pictures with a side on view ?
I can see that you have used cock hackle where as it is normally hen is there a specific reason behind this.

Not bad, but the cock hackle is not doing it any favours. You could have swept the fibres back and locked them down with a turn of thread.
