Start by opening this picture using Photoshop.
Search for a picture over the internet with Germany’s national flag or take it from here and open it using Photoshop.

Select the flag and draw a circle from the up-left corner to down-right corner.

The press CTRL+C to copy the selection.Now select the picture with the ball and press SHIFT+CTRL+N to create a new layer.No press CTRL+V to paste the selected circle.Press CTRL+N to resize the selection so it the same dimensions like the ball.

Now go to Layer>Layer style>Blending options.

If you change the blend mode to Multiply (for the German Flag experiment to find the best one for other flags) the color does’nt look as washed out in the final image, just a little something I found.
