They look pretty good to me.
The one on the smaller hook I would tie shorter. The way you have tied it, you have a fly the same size as the others with a smaller hook. Are your eyes on solid? I find they have a tendency to twist at times.

they look good and in correct proportions, except for the smaller hook fly. This one the tail seems too long and the build up of thread at the eye of hook will prevent it from getting down. Definitely on the right path.

they look pretty good mate.
remember not to over dress them, clousers are meant to be sparse. that way they sink quicker and look more translucent in the water. your amount of flash looks spot on. im no expert tier,but heres a few of mine. these have too much material in my mind,but were tied for the tropics where the fish are a little less fussy. flies 010.jpg cheers bomb

here's a tip for keeping the eyes/beads on,
lay the first bed of flat waxed very tight and then on the way back to the tie in point evenly stagger the thread with gaps and the then tie two turns around the left side of the bead and two around the right, then kriss cross 5 times and finally go around the bottom of the bead(not the shank of the hook), then dab some dropletts of Zap a Gap around it, let it dry and start tying...... Try and get a hold of some DNA Holofusion to tie up Clousers, it looks awesome and there are 18 or so different colours to go with the white. Flashabou and Angel hair are also great products to dress up saltwater flies too. Whereas with buck tail your limited to whatever dyed product you can get a hold of....... DNA is really easy to tie with aswell. Cheers.
