So, here we go
1. Take your base, crop, sharpen and all that jazz.
2. Duplicate your image. Set the duplicate as a negative image (Adjust > Negative Image). Select your flood fill tool (make sure the Blend Mode is set to 'Burn') and fill the duplicate with a light blue shade.
3. Select Adjust > Negative Image again. Your image should now be back to normal, except it will have a slight red tint, depending on the shade of light blue you chose
4. On the same layer (still the duplicate), flood fill with the same light blue shade you just used (make sure the blend mode is still set to 'Burn'!) You should now have something looking like this;

6. Create a new layer on top of all the others and flood fill with #C6E301 (set the blend mode back to normal before you do this!). Set this layer's opacity at 42%
7. Duplicate your base layer again and drag to the top. Set to Soft Light at 72%
