The buzzer is out of focus - at least it is for me.

The gold head looks good and buggy - I'd fish it happily.

I think the buzzer thorax could be a bit tidier, although it's hard to see. Perhaps you could use finer thread and build up a more symetrical thorax. The ribbing is a little uneven. I'm being very critical here, and it'll still catch fish

Not to shabby, they will catch. With the buzzer tie the rib in the whole length of the body. It looks like you caught it in halfway down. Keep at it

They will certainly catch fish Terry
For the buzzer I would use something smaller for the rib and then give it a few coats of varnish for that glassy look.
The hares ears tail could be tidier and if you take the fibres 90 degrees from the stem of the feather the tips should line up, I would also go a little lighter on the dubbing havind said this it has the look of a nice scruffy little fly which it should be.

The hare ear bug looks super and should catch fish.

The buzzer looks a bit out of proportion to me as the whole dressing is too long for the hook IMO, but at least the proportions are good for the length of body you have chosen to put on the fly.

Couple more coats of varnish should deal with the slight uneveness of the thread body.
