Judging for GC All-Japan Style...

[aquitori]

Here we have a Gosanke group up for GC at the All-Japan....Now with that in mind the winner has to win with atleast 50% of the vote....

Respond with your vote(you can only pick one for your GC) and give a reason why you picked that fish...I will tally up the winner later after alot of people have voted.

Have fun ...

By the way all these fish in real life are over 76cm...

This isn't fair, we need measurements, closer pics, and more angles.But just to be the first one expressing a personal preference, D

I know we are limited to these pics, but in respect to the AKCA this how they pick their "Champion of Champions"....But in all in all the pics show conformation pretty good and pattern...skin quality is a toss up with B being the whitest due to pic...

[cocoyboy]

I like B, great body down to the tail, and good pattern.

[aquitori]

Here's my pick...Showa "B"....Showa of that caliber and balance should receive GC in this group of fish...

[kingkong]

As seen I would favor B. best shiro, good shape, great motoguro and impressive color.

[keokoi]

dang who introduced that koi to you.. LOL

B as in best!

[RayJordan]

Showa - B: Best Quality/conformation, all three colors finished. Strong presence.

Problem is those pics were clearly shot with different cams, different filters, and different lighting conditions. Assuming B has the best shiro is just that. Unless you have seen them personally. I picked D mainly based on body shape, and It's a kohaku, how could you pick ANY showa over a kohaku? thats a terrible sin- lol

So we will need you to fly to Japan and take pics of these koi with the same camera and the same lighting condition and tank.

They all look nice, and that showa is nice, I like that it appears to have a deeper red beni, and is nicely stepped in it's kohaku pattern.
