The hackle looks really good from what I can see, especially for jackdaw, but you need to crop the photo some to enlarge the image.

Lovely rendition of the dark watchet. Great body work and hackling. That's a keeper!

I think that is the ultimate compliment! Only thing better, might be the "endorsement" of a trout pulling on the end of your line. :D ;)
