I know, you would think this is a one shot click  :) --> Its a stack of 6 photos, one each for one of those pollen pods. I stacked 50 some photos to get the whole lily also in focus but I find more charm in this because this still looks so natural from a photographic perspective with a subtle 3D effect.

Very pretty, neat grouping of anthers. That's the approach to stacking that I prefer...

Really excellent. Lovely contrast between colours and areas of sharpness and softness.

Lovely image, Ram.

It's nice that you captured before those pollen sacs opened.

Good job, the stamens really pop against the soft petals.

Excellent result. Great example of using technique to enhance the final image without going overboard and doing something to the extreme, just because the technique can do it. :) This is beautiful in every regard... a polished blend of sharp & soft, light, colour & tone. Well done!
