I'm going with d-a-c-b. D simply blows them away with conformation. Although C has better conformation than A, The nose is so much whiter and I like the sumi much better in A. B is left in the dust. I thought A and C were really tough to decide.

Talking Ranking

Since these appear to be young fish I will rank them as such. I would go with CDAB. C has the best pattern for now, good shiro but the conformation is not great. D has better conformation, but a weaker pattern at this size. A looks like a Matsunosuke bloodline fish, and still has the skinny conformation. I can't find a lot say about B. I Sure others will differ, but if you could explain where I went wrong I would appreciate it.

ADCB - D has Nice conformation but the shiroji doesn't do it for me. Looks like there's som yellow on the head and pecs.

I would take C as first for the patern hoping that shiro will come stronger. Even if the conformation is not so good then D, but C seems younger and that will be a dell for furure. Maybe is the one who will gives the most oportunity to change in better or ... worst, but that is what I like, to see the evolution of body and patern.
Don't really like the patern of A and B..
Waiting what will say all the experts ...

Ranking

DBAC

IMHO, D will win hands down. Body conformation is always a primary concern in judging and D simply overwhelms the rest. B has strategically placed sumi over a well balanced hiban. A is heavy on hi at the front and heavy on sumi at the rear... unbalanced pattern. C is good with future potential but simply not ready... but I think it'll be splendid in another 2-3 years.

Cheers,
Dennis

I've seen C before in person, in fact I bowled it. Nice fish, but check out those pecs! Very large. I've noticed that many of this breeders fish are showing this characteristic. Interesting to see what the judges on this board think about them.
