my observation notes

After using the Environment Emission Image i could see that the primitive ball image came into line with the HDR image quality, well it was pretty close to it. (An image embedded on another object will make that object look like it is reflecting as it does in nature).

It looks like the PNG image in the primitive ball has been enhanced.
