Create a ((new layer)).
With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) draw a circle a little bit smaller than the one you recently draw, and fill it in with white.

Press ((Delete)) and reduce the ((opacity)) to 25%.
Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) and, using ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), rotate it and transform it as shown in the following image.
Duplicate the layer of the first ball (Ctrl + J) and change the layer style to ((Pin Light)).
Duplithe the layer again (Ctrl + J) and change the layer style to ((Multiply)).
