Evaluation of my new Isa Showa!!!

[Brutuscz]

I posted a picture of this koi earlier to tell a story. Now, I would like some opinions. This Koi is 14.6 inches and female. This is simply for education..so, I appreciate the feedback.

Although I am definetly not educated enough to really tell you whether this koi has potential or not. What I can do, is tell you that, I think this koi is very beautiful.

It may be a departure from the norm as far as the facial pattern goes, but I find this fish intriguing.
The body is very nice and thick throughout. None of the bowling pin look so many showa seem to fall prey to. The beni looks to be of high quality, I'm a sucker for big, blocky sumi anyway so I love that. But the head is fascinating. It looks as if she is wearing a black tiara.
Yuppers. I really like it.

Thanks...I have named this koi April Love (my Daughters name is April Lee). It was actually coincidental that the hi on the face makes an L. She is definitely an eye catcher to see in person.
