If you enabled iCloud Photo Library syncing, all edits made on one device (including deletions, additions, etc) are synced to all your other iCPL-enabled devices, including iCloud itself. 


You can recover the photos you deleted from your computer backup, or from The Recently Deleted album (on any device, incl. iCloud). The Recently Deleted album keeps deleted photos for 30 days in case the user changes his/her mind, but only if that album was not manually emptied.
