Red face 1st attempts, help/critique welcome

Just getting back into tying after quite a long lapse; I had a few lessons a couple of years ago.

Having a bit of a competition with my Dad (garyj) to see who can get the worst comments

How do these look (honestly).

Very good them, just don't let your dad get his hands on them. Tell him to tie his own, and some for you.

Make sure you got ya back to the water when you tie them on

As for the heads thing ?? I think part of that is to do with the threads ?? What are you using ?? The thread looks kinda thick in relation to the hook ??

If you are using 6/0 of similar go down to 8/0 of similar ...

If you are using 8/0 already ignore the above

Thanx for all the comments.

Regards to the thread I am using, I think it is just normal black thread but not too sure. The orange thread used on number 3 is really thick and I did not notice this until tieing the head.
