    This is a cross of a Phaleanopsis and a Doritis. The plant has two bloom spikes, this is the smaller one. I wanted to get the blossoms as large as possible. They are five and one quarter inches across and very crystaline white, the yellow lip has deep magenta spots. The anther cap is also yellow. Hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

    Gorgeous! Nice clean BG and beautiful detail in the whites. Only possible suggestion is whether you want to leave the small piece of stem in the bottom left part of the flowers...purely your choice but it does jump out at me a bit.

    John,

    Really like your photo. I find it difficult to shoot white phals. Good job on exposure and color with nice BG. Minor cloning could improve. That's up to you.

    Thanks for sharing....

    You nailed that one.

    Beautiful presentation of white on white/grey.

    It is sharp and I like the texture.

    Hey John,
    You handled the whites here well. Nice job with the flow of the comp too. Do like the bit of stem removal.....just the final nice tweak.
