Oh what fun! You got some wonderful effects there! I experimented a bit with a lensball i got but was disappointed with the upside down figures in the ball - never thought of rotating the photo after I like the blurred background too so the image in the lensball is highlighted.
Thanks for sharing!

When using the lensball you need to shift your way of thinking.
There are two compositions now:
The image around two ball (background now) should not distract from what's inside the ball but should however give enough hint that what's inside the ball is also behind it. You get that by controlling the blur and give the hint by shape or color.
Of course, like any rules in photography, know the rules then break them to fit your style.

I loved your photos, it's a fun way to reflect the image from another point.

Didn't even know lensballs were things XD Have seen some pictures with them and thought oh yeh that's an interesting use of a glass ball (which are things which I've seen decoratively XD). Now I know.
The iPhone didn't do too bad a job, the ones you take iwht a DSLR are probably going to be even cooler.

Glass balls are also used to do kinda juggling tricks:
However they don't require high quality glass as for photography which needs them to be super clear. The clarity for those are labelled by a number prefixed with the letter
K. In my case, it's a K9. The higher the number the clearer is the glass and the more expensive.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
