    Got some great feedback on my first puzzle so here is attempt #2. I think it ended up being a bit harder than I originally intended. I was shooting for fairly easy. Let me know though. Any criticism would be appreciated!

      Nice!

        Not too tricky, and generally good cluing. I particularly enjoyed earlobe for its clever straight. My only complaint is that big void of black squares on either side!

          I think you hit your mark. A couple that made me stop and think, but nothing too hard. Nicely done.
