Distinctive presentation of phalaenopsis -- I like the dark mood. I think the image would be strengthed by cropping a bit from the bottom and right, to put a bit more attention on the beautiful blooms. A lovely shot!

Very nice soft look to the flowers. Works well with the black background. I'd like to see just a bit more contrast in the centers, but that might break the subtle mood.

Wow, the contrast really did make it stand out.  There are amazing details in the whites too.  I like the crop.  that was a good suggestion

Very pretty. I agree with you two. The contrast can be boosted way up to make it pop more.

Thanks for the comment. I boosted the contrast as you suggested.
Much stronger now. Can I email revision to you?
