I like white orchids too. I like the white on white bg, with the color spots of the flowers.

A fascinating composition, Albert, with the flowers seemingly twisting in all directions ! Love your handling of the light and the whites - might just like to see the stem sharp as well but no matter - this is a lovely image.

White on white makes the greens and yellows more effective. I like the simplicity of the comp.

However, when I look at these flowers I see two somewhat twin sinister faces with yellow around the eyes, red cheeks, and a brown snouts staring back at me. I'm probably looking too hard.

Nice color of the BG Albert, and I love the splashes of color through the frame. Nicely done.

Albert, a splendid portrait for the Phalaenopsis the most simple and beautiful orchid for me. The feeling of serenity and peace may occurs when admiring beauty. Bravo!
Take care.

Fine composition and subtle treatment of difficult whites. Touches of green color just right against them.
