Trying hard to ignore the pattern and see the fish instead. (I like the unique pattern, and it keeps distracting me )
Her body, Shiroji, and Sumi are everything I would look for in a Sanke. The Beni really is the wildcard. It isn't what most of your Koi look like in terms of luster, color, etc... , but I can't really put my finger on it. The Sashi is different from left to right, but I don't see the 2 scale depth as much of an issue. Time should solidify it into the hi plates as the skin looks very good.
Is it just me, or does the beni seem similar to some of the Rose line sisters from different pairings? Some were produced from Persimmon Beni sires and others from Pink/Red Beni sires. This one seems to have characteristics of both.
