Rank these Sanke. Good, Better, Best

[Brutuscz]

I'm placing A, C, B. I placed c before b based on conformation. If the head whitens up on C ... it will then be my favorite. This was a pretty tough one to judge...more difficult than most.

Good = B Nice quality shiroji/beni with sumi still coming on, weak pattern balance. Body conformation not as strong as the other two.
Better = C Better body conformation than B, weak pecs in the picture (but nearly identical to B IMHO), Well balanced pattern, Strong Sumi and Beni with yellow Shiroji make it look like a finished bulky male.
BEST = A Best body, clean shiroji, nicely balanced beni pattern, sumi still on the rise. This is the one I would put back in the mud to wait for the sumi to catch up.

I will pick B,A,C.

[kevan]

from the pics, A,C,B.

my guess is that A is the tategoi.

[xiaohuang7]

me too: A, C, B

[hkmp5k]

B = Best - This is the tategoi.
A = Better
C = Good

C

ACB here too. I like the deep red and solid Kohaku pattern in the first. The black is a nice added touch. The nice stepping stone pattern of the sumi in C brings it to second place in my mind. B is nice, but just not what A and C are.

1st. - A : I think it has the best future .
2nd. - C : I think this Koi is close to being Finished , Good Now .
3rd. - B : I think this koi will always look a mess .

[jbolding]

b-Best (sumi and sashi still need to finish)- tategoi
a- Good (sumi seems a little to sparse compared to hi)
c- Good (I love the blocky sumi but the shiro seems to out of sync with the sumi)
