okay first sharpen it once, duplicate it and go to adjustments -> hue/saturation
set it to this hue 180, saturation 0, lightness 0 then click okay. and set that layer to softlight and merge layers together (ctrl + E).

now duplicate the base and set the duplicated layer to overlay

now make a new layer with this gradient Image Hosted by ImageShack.us and set it to hardlight

make another layer with this gradient Image Hosted by ImageShack.us and set it to soft light with an opacity of 30%

now make another layer with this gradient Image Hosted by ImageShack.us and set it to pin light with an opacity of 75%

now duplicate the base and drag it up to the top and set it to color

make a new layer with this light effect Image Hosted by ImageShack.us and set it to screen

make a new layer and fill it with this color "FFCC99" and set it to multiply with an opacity of 36%

make another layer and fill it with this color "FF3333" and set it to pin light with an opacity of 25%

now duplicate the base again and drag all the way to the top and set it to soft light

then make a new layer with this light effect again Image Hosted by ImageShack.us and set it to screen with an opacity of 75%
merge evrything together and your final result should look something like this
