Very nice.
I like the proportions and the contrast of the wing pad thorax cover.

In my experience, the green drake pattern should be more grey. I like his biot pattern, its been a standard for me the past three years.

I missed the painful trudge up Golgotha, but if you got into a conflict with a motorist on the street in front of your house, would you blame the street? Cranks can get on the roads and the internet.
Harrumphing about esoterica—"Your dun isn't pale or watery enough"—is kind of what some folks do. Choose to be amused, if possible.
From the fine flies on your site, whatever you'd posted here was probably glorious.
