AM of 84. What knocked the score down? Thing looks perfect from here, but photos can deceive. Beautiful!

Some of the judges did give a FCC but a few low scores didn't help.I'm not a judge myself so it's all a mystery .See back and side.

Well, the form is perfect. I suppose if it were small this would count against it, but my personal belief is that size is a relaive thing - you wouldn't count small size against a perfect schlimii, for example.

However, from a critical perspective I would comment on the color. Personally, I could see how a solid colored red petal, with a more uniform & even chartreuse border, could have improved the score. Also, a completely solid colored pouch would have helped.

But these are just suppositions.
