Really nice for your first ones, but if I may add a little something to help it looks like you may have cut the tail off on the bottom left chartreuse marabou and that is not something you want to do. Always get the amount you want to tie in and cut the length from the end your tying in. One other little tip I think should be told is something I am having a hard time telling for sure, but I think you tied in the whole feather stem and all. I take all the feathers off the stem to time them in because you will have better action from the marabout like that. I save all the tips where it gets too short to use with the length I am tying in a bag and will use them on flies later. I will at time use the stem on a jig if it's super thin and I think it looks good enough and will not hurt the action, but probably 95% of the time I do not use the stem. This is not some rule because there really are not any in tying jigs unlike flies where you need to measure the hackle to the hook and all that stuff.
So enjoy the hobby and good luck!
