Well, Joe, you started something here. I concur with B, A and C. But, are my reasons the same as yours? (And, Eclipsar & RobR's reasons?)

C is last because a younger, smaller fish. Or, at least the photo gives it that look.

So, the choice is between A and B. A has the more interesting pattern, but as you look at it, the Hi is not finished, there are breaks along the edges and that gives a splotchiness to her. The head is not just creamy, but yellowish. The photo was taken at a great angle, making her rather bold in aspect. B has a less interesting pattern, but better white and more finished Hi. I think the conformation is fine, but she would look better if the photo was taken at the same angle as the photo of A. Balancing it all, I'd pick B as the better. If A is a young fish, I'd like to see her in a couple of years.

Is there a real judge lurking in the house?
