The shadow shape indicates that the ball is not round - is that accurate? I would like to see shadows on the ball to turn the ball in space. From the amount of shadow, the light appears to be coming slightly from the right of center -- a larger highlight area, not necessarily white but a brighter/lighter red would help to define the ball as a plastic product. There also seems to be an over abundance of clouds for the amount of shadow. Love the sand texture and the water image. Gradient on the blue sky with the darkest at the top might provide a field of depth.

Thank you for your comments, and I am glad that you liked some parts of my artwork here. With no disrespect to you, I enjoy engaging in creating art using the Paint program on my computer, and I try not to get bogged down with technicalities. I create my art for sheer enjoyment for myself and for others, and to help ease the stress of my many medical treatments.

This is an interesting digital presentation of the beach ball.It has bright and harmonious colors and good lighting.
I am not fond of the composition, with the beach ball in dead center.
