Omosako tosai to nisai

I thought I would post these to confuse you guys in the grow out contest even further.
I finally received pictures of the tosai I purchased last year from Omosako san to be grown out under Omosako's care. Omosako sent me 10 pictures to choose from, and I bought 3 tosai. JNorth picked one, I picked one and the third was purchased by another customer. I thought I would show you how both Jim’s and my koi have changed. I think Jim will be pleased with how his turned out (38cm). I picked my tosai solely on head shape, and tail tube. As a dealer I should probably be more humble, but Omosako san says that this tosai (40cm) turned out the best of all the koi put in that pond. In fact he plans on putting her on his website in his Process of Growth section.

That first pair of pictures sure helps me with having a dark koi as my second pick. They are coming along nicely. I like seeing the heads getting whiter.
