| Not to rain on one's parade
Some of the "nice" aspects have been mentioned...balanced Motoaka, clean head, and nice blue ground. But, I hope one can also appreciate defining the Koi to a particular standard, or "ideal". The "zippering of the Doitsu scales is uneven as it gets to mid dorsal and lacking at the tail joint. In addition, the lack of uniformity in the beni from side to side (symetrical) is a distraction.
Nice Koi and could do well, depending on the competition of the day.
