PROBLEM! 1st I synced my iphone to Mac, then deleted photos to make some space, I think I deleted everything from icloud too! Please tell me there is a genius there who can fix this! is there a way to retrieve the photos even after deleted from icloud.

Hi, I know this is stupid, but without going into the how, I deleted important photos and actually backed up my icloud, so I think they are gone completely! I am furious with my self, is there anyway to retrieve this data from some space even if I have to be charged by apple ... just being hopeful...

Photo stream photos are not backed up, and when you delete them from one device, they are also deleted from iCloud and your other devices.  If they were in your camera roll when you last back up you device, restoring the backup should recover them.  Otherwise, they are, unfortunately, gone.
Also, photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't free any storage up in your account.
You can't really use iCloud to back up your photos.  It's designed to stream them to your devices and share with others, not to back them up.  In fact, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  In order to back up your photos, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Or, if you have a Mac that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled, and you are using iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or later, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import.  This will ensure that your photo stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto library where they will be safe (especially if you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac).
