Very nice, much better than my efforts..

Some nice fishing flies there, Zim, guaranteed to nail a few for you. I'd be aiming at shortening things up a wee bit though for everyday use. The longer tails and wing-length will be great for a good blow, or when there's Mayfly or Daddies around. For general work though, I'd be tying more with similar proportions to the last one shown.

Not bad at all
As has been said about the tails beeing long I tie mine mainly about 1 to 1 1/2 times the length of the hook shank and cloak to just beyond the back of the hook.

not bad at all agree with scratch, shorten the bronze mallard so its just past the bend of the hook. your almost there, get the proportions right and they will look the part.
