Working from left to right,
I like the uniformity of the beni on the first kohaku. It doesn't have a pattern obviously, But I think it's more stable. The second kohaku has a much better pattern but really not sure of the beni quality/stability. Lean toward the first one.
The Gin rins are always difficult to offer an opinion from a photo. GR does not photo well. That really is the priority cause a good pattern on a so-so GR when entered in GR doesn't cut it. Yet to enter it in showa and not GR is to already admit that it has one fault going against it already.....that said
the first one on the left has to my eye a pointy head. I don't care for that.
I like the last two better because of the white in the face which is important. Maybe lean toward the next to last.
But for GR look carefully at where the GR goes thru the different color patches. If some places have a soft spot and not as clear as others stay away from that one. You want uniformity between all the colors......fun thinking about the possibilities!
