HC vs SH shiro showdown

[Mtn ponder]

Every time I see Henry's Shiro all I can think is WOW.

[dinh]

both Utsuri look good.....

- HC's utsuri has better conformation, but SH's utsuri has a nice checkered pattern.

P.S. I remember I helped to release SH's utsuri to dealer's pond when she just arrived here in NorCal 4 years ago...

Is there anyone who would not like to have both of these big gals in their pond? Gorgeous koi with personality to boot. This is why photos can never replace live comparison.

[azngopher]

isn't there a koi show or two nearby for henry and steve to place the shiros into for a true judging? like the one in early march?

how would you like to be on the judging team at that show? would there be a gosanke to beat them on that day?

If there was a gosanke in the same size, with good confirmation, quality, luster.. Neither one of the shiro's would beat it. I do know that SH shiro won GC at a Florida show (last year I think), but the competition was not there.

Henry's shiro is outstanding, confirmation, shiroji, sumi, luster youthfulness ( by pics).

SH confirmation not as good, shiroji looks good, sumi nice, missing that youthful appearance. ( by Pics).

I would love to see them both swimming tank to tank. But since SH will never show his fish again (per him), none of us will ever see that day.

I think it will end very well for H.C.

Henry C. shiro is the complete package basing it on photo. That's my 2 cents

the photo judging will end soon and neither of these 2 koi may end up w/the top prize.

the debate on which of the 2 shiros is better will never be settled though.
