We put our ball on white surface, so it must be shined by environment. Add A Layer Style -> Inner Glow 3. Creating main light reflection. If our ball is made from glass, it must reflect source of light without blur and reflection must have clear border. Like it is in Mac OS X interace and some icons. Create Ellipse In Layers window press Add A Layer Mask Select Mask by clicking on Layer Mask Thumbnail (in Tools window Background and Foreground colors will change on black and white, because mask can be only in grayscale mode. More black - more transparency) Select Gradient Tool Choose Radial Gradient Drag over the shape to create gradient mask. Remember that borders must be visible, so you must drag mouse next it. 4. Shadow. To create shadow we will use also shape with radial gradient.
