It's always a bit hard to tell from photos, but here's my 2 cents:

B - Definitely most appealing one of the three to my eye. Good body shape, shiroji seem brightest white, sharp kiwa, even look to hi, unusual mask-shaped pattern on face is very symmetrical and pleasing. Also like the asymetrical balance of 3 step pattern & white areas and the clean look to odome.

C & A are almost equal to me in pics for different qualities. Would have to see in person to really say for sure.

So, there you go.

Here's what I got out of them. Are we going to have a judge jump in tell us the official answer?

B= Best
A= Better
C= Good

Actually a couple of judges have already posted! Maybe we can persuade them to share some insights into their choices for educational purposes. Ahem, hint, hint, hint.......c'mon guys, spill it!

B, C, A

...I do not like being in disagreement with Dick and Bob Winkler. It usually means I've overlooked something quite obvious.

I would not consider A anywhere near in beauty to B and C. The hi near the start of the dorsal fin is suspect.

Between B and C, I will take B anytime. Beautiful shiroji, nice beni with sharp kiwa. And the odome is yummy.

My pick then, B with C coming in a near 2nd. Koi A being a far 3rd.

A-C-B for future potential. These look like Nisai Koi,... the face shape and body shape reminds me of some of Maeda Kohakus. These 3 Kohaku are so close in body shape, size, and color and skin qualities - if they are all raised in the same environment and all given equal opportunity to excel - later, balance and symmetry will separate these three into A-C-B.

I don't see the small questionable area of beni on A to be a problem down the road. It should tighten up, and clean up well.

Best Wishes,
