Default Splotchy anodize or dye result

This is my first post to this forum, would appreciate some advice as to my problem. This was my first (test) attempt at anodizing, and things seemed to be going well, but the final result was less than optimal.

After dying, the surface had some splotchy/blotchy spots, particularly around the perimeter of the piece. They are faint, but noticeable in reflected light. These are actually the BETTER looking part of the finish. I didn't notice if these spots were visible on the piece before dyeing.

What's the most likely cause of this?
