Talking Group shot and number 32

On Number 32 I think the sumi has come up quite a bit as the skin has cleared. As far as the pattern change it was I expected to extent. That being said to to the difference in angles and heights in the initial pick photos it is very hard to determine exactly what they koi look like while picking especially in hind sight. I will say that while many of the fish looked like the sumi was so submerged it would never surface in the pictures. None of them look like that in person. All have at least some sumi showing through.

On the beni my only hope is that based on the photos that Shawn showed of his other customer's photos I hope it fades or is covered by sumi. With fading being more likely. On that same note I would say that based on the pictures i wouldn't have gotten any of the tanchos. However after seeing them in person there are probably 10 or so with very strong beni, but the others are very washed out.

The are good quality tosai with clear skin so we shall see what there future holds.
