The harts are nice but they look slightly elongated and distorted.
The thing about the H&A pictures is that you have to get SPOT ON pictures or else the hearts and arrows look jacked. I experienced this over the weekend taking pictures of Greg's new ACA. The Arrows are easier, but move the camera a slight half of an inch to the right and I had distorted or uneven looking hearts.
So it's hard to tell if its real H&A from just a picture...BUT the hearts picture combined with Fscope image and what Rhino pointed out ...and also light leakage, I would pass on the stone unless it was such a great price that it made up for the fact that it wasn't REAL H&A. Because if its a good deal $$$ then it will probably be a really beautiful stone regardless.
I am never sure where H&A begin... there surely are some harts and arrows there, but for one reason or another that picture is not "picture perfect". I dounbt that diamond barks though: if the proportions are right and the price does not particularly insist on the H&A quality, this wolld be a stone worth considering, by all means.
If you really want a perfect Harts and arrows picture under the microscope... oh well, you may actually want to see those before paying for them, I guess.
