On the first globe, i blurred it out quite a bit.
Then there was a tutorial from //www.ehow.com/how_5584584_make-swirls-photoshop.html
then I placed some clouds, erased most of them and changed the color a bit...added a lens flare & placed the second globe in the composition.
I cleaned up the globe for purposes of this composition and made it quite small, placing it in the center of the lens flare.
that should give you plenty of ideas on how to improve this very basic little bit of digital art on which I spent a few happy minutes this afternoon after thinking about the theme and how this idea might work for quite a while.
