Now:
Go to:
Layer
Duplicate Layer...
Click OK.

Then:
Go to:
Image...
Adjustments>
Click on Desaturate.

Your Picture Should Now Look Like This:


Now:
Go to:
Filter...

Click on Motion Blur...

* A box will come up, and on the bottom of that box, it will say Distance: __ pixels, make the numbers set, say Distance: 30 pixels... *
(as shown below).



Click OK.

Now::
You should have a box on the screen relating to everything you do with your picutre...
On there, it should have these tabs on it::
Layers,Channels,Paths
(looks like this)


Find it?

Good!

Now you should see a dialong box with a drop down arrow in the selected Layers Tab.
Click that...

You should See hard light or soft light.

For me, Hard Light works great.

Here is what the hard light does:


And here is what the soft light does:

Click Ctrl+U

This will bring up a Hue/Saturation box that has color properties to add to your picture:
