CCAC It looks alright to me, although it may be worth trying swapping your color sequence around and putting the orange hackle as your palmered hackle, with a wee touch of the yellow at the head,or remove the yellow. I think that would work better over the red holo body.
Plus my own prefference on pbp's is to use larger jc eyes, tied over the head hackles rather than under.
Dave.
