I agree about the tails been too long on the top three but its fine on the last one as the long shoulder hackle balances it out....keep it up..

Here ye go Zim.... Don't loose any sleep over over it, as tail length and other proportions are often a matter of opinion, and down to personal taste. The key with tying is to know what these proprtions and 'standards' are, get used to them, understand why, then adjust according to your own tastes. As far as the tails go, this is ROUGHLY what you should be aiming for...

Sorry zim read comments as cormorants
Wheres my glasses.

Nice flies, would agree with scratch about not getting too hung up on the tail length, although the length scratch has shown, with some excellent photoshop skills, is about perfect.
