Thoughts on this ginrin sanke?

[Ethan25]

The kohaku pattern on the sanke isn't great, but the fish has definitely improved over winter. First picture is from September. Next is this past week; fish has been fed now lightly for 3 weeks since winter ended. I feel that the conformation is pretty good, and that the ginrin is excellent. The sumi is developing, just slowly it seems. But it is becoming darker. Any thoughts positive or negative? The white seems to be cleaner as well.

Conformation not bad. Not enough hi and maybe its the photo but it looks pretty weak. Not even gonna guess about the ginrin. Read this thread-

I do think the hi is definitely weaker than others that I have seen. All I have heard are positive comments about the gin quality so far. I know it is lacking hi as well.....either way, its quite a jewel in the pond. Really shines in the sun. I think it may help if more sumi comes up on it....even if it's lacking hi. I think it will hide that flaw a bit...that and the gin. Don't you think?

Ethan , Most of the cases i've seen , GinRin doesn't look all that great on Sumi . You may not want the Sumi your hoping for .
