Default Griffith's Gnat---trimmed hackle

Today, I trimmed the Griffith's Gnat hackle a little bit to make the
hackle length is about 1.5 times hook gap. Here is the picture.

I have to say I do not have the genetic hackle to tie the fly. I use
the smallest Chinese rooster neck feather to tie the fly. And I also
reduce the wrap of peacock herl. The pattern looks a little weird. I
just want to know whether it looks better than my first one. Or there
is anything I should pay attention to when tying this pattern again.
