Evaluate these Kohaku's

Hello again
Here are all eight Kohaku’s to make your thoughts easier to give and interpret.
Please feel free to point out downsides and what you thing will go worse – better with them. All will be noted as an effort to learn the most out of what is available for us. Gloves off there should be lots we think and we will take no offence.

The problem with a pic like this is that the only thing that can be halfway judged is the patterns--can't see skin quality and scalation, can't see accurate conformations due to different angles of view and positions of fish...

They're pretty is about all I can say, other than can you take some closer clearer individual pics from the same view and angle so we can see them better side by side? I know it's a pain, but it would really help us in telling you something intelligent about your fish rather than something from sheer conjecture...

Petter,
keep your eye on 2-6-7-4

I chose these koi by looking at the density of the red beni. On all 4 of these koi the shouldler beni thickness and thickness at the end of the tail is the same. many of the others are lighter...like someone painting an automobile that left the tail section one spray layer short.

Tank for putting up with me


Well 2 & 6 no problem over our middle line. 4 resembles 2 but weaker or more interesting?
The one that really troubles me is 3 I can’t deicide if its almost bottom or should go straight up! It as since unpacking bothered me each “sit in” and I’m increasingly bewildered.

What intruding fun to get surprise packaged like this in this dark time of the year.

Pleas give negative point also, learning is about both.

while #3 has an interesting pattern, the main tailstop ( not dot at the end) looks to me to be a spray job lighter then middle step...

I’ll take his with me a look extra careful tomorrow. As for now (by remembering) and time spent it’s mostly a picture glitch.
It’s almost even in density except head as normal. The red is more yellow tinted to get a reddish hue.
