What about the text that you want. . .? Not sure if I understand you. All he/she did was place the image on top of a background image and lowered the opacity.

The glow effect you can achieve by right-clicking on the layer and then select, "Blending Modes." Then go into your left menu and select, "Outer Glow." Adjust the settings to your liking.

looks like you need a few layers.
the first layour (background) should be the colour you want at the background, obviously.
click on the text button and find a font you like, then type into the image and a new layer will be formed for you, type whatever you like.
you can play about with the opacity or the layer settings to see what you think works best with the background. you could even download some text brushses by searching google, but get permission if you want to submit it or use it for anything.
the scattered lines and glittersparks are brushes, create a new layer, and find some brushes which appeal to you. brush onto this layer until you like it..try not to over do it though, there is just enough in your example image for it to not be too clustered.
again, change the opacity, layer settings, etc.
paste in the image you want (a new layer will automatically be created) and place it where-ever, then duplicate that layer by selecting it and pressing CTL and J together at the same time.
then change the opacity of this new layer (its on the layers box, you probably know this), and move it to where-ever you like to give the mirror of the image.

its all about layer composition and settings.
once you've got all of your layers, you can move them about until you're happy with the image by selecting them and dragging them. obviosly, the effects may look different if you've applied a layer style such as soft light, but you can go back and adjust this.
it looks like the duplicated, softer version of the raw image has been placed behind the text and shadows layer, and these two layers have had their opacity adjusted to allow it to show through.
this is where it's best to do the blending mode effects as well.

hope thats any help at all? bit long winded but y'know.
sorry if it didn't, but it might help someone else >.< who knows!

thanks I'll try that then.
:]
Yes it did help. <3
are there any tutorials or anything else that would help?
-runs off to find brush-

try the createblog photoshop or paint shop pro tutorials (depending what program your working in...guess its photoshop?), and just add your own effect to the image.
try searching google as well.
i love www.smashingmagazine.com
its absolutely amazing and has some ideal portfolios and photoshop tutorials to view. it's kind of hard to navigate but once you find things, favourite them on your computer.
try not to copy the same image as you gave as an example so it's not just another "one".
add your own edge with a mix of tutorials :) you seem to know what you want, its just about finding the elements which make it up.
research is important if you want to produce a really well presented graphic.
