What makes a good showa?

I have a few basic things down, and basic things of what to look for. but I am still yearning for more.
I am posting the same pictures I posted earlier. I want to see why this koi has potential that I have been told.
What are its strong points.
Here are just a few I think I know.
Good odome
Thick sumi.
Atleast 2 of the colors on the fish's head.

Does it have what one would call, matsunosuke "gin" or matsunosuke "silver"?
Thats about it. I dont know how to detect what sakai san says about silk beni and good shiroji.
Please teach me.
Im sorry for the bad pictures.

Thank you.
