Lady Caroline 2nd try

Tied in hand, wings are too upright. The mallard wings conspire against me.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Those rouge wings will pulsate way better than those tied flatter.
Perfection is something we strive for and then we learn to tie for the fish.
Well done, Darrell.

It's amazing looking. I see nothing wrong with any of it, but what gets my attention is the body material. I'd like a closer look at that
