Abandoned or Lost?

Actually, that is a softball in a pond under a bridge. It looked all soaked and pathetic sitting there with the leaves that washed up with it. For some reason, when I resized the photo, it lost the detail of the threading on the ball and ended up looking more like a golf ball!
=(
Anyone know why that is and how to avoid that?

Au Naturale~

Comment:
Thanks for all the comments! I just wanted to take a picture of the sand and the water, not with the challenge in mind, and just thought I'd throw it out there to see what comments I would get. It's actually my first entry, and I would love some advice on how to do all the stuff people mentioned. I just cropped the photo and made it smaller to fit the max file size requirement. For future reference on photo size, how do I maximize the size? Also, how can I avoid looking too cropped when trying to eliminate distracting elements from the photo? Any insights would be helpful to this complete beginner. Thanks again!

It looks like the clouds are about to crash on the mountains or something... =P almost looks like the clouds are rushing toward the center cloud.

Just out of curiosity, why "Three of choice" for the title?

I love how you have the photo cut almost exactly in half... one side simple angles, the other side simple blue... not even a single cloud to throw off the balance.

Relax by the lake

It looks like the water shooting up and blowing away in combination with the rainbow forms a sail... an oversized, translucent sail...
