1. First crop your picture to 100 by 100. Don't sharpen the base yet, I normally save the sharpen for the last step.

2. Duplicate your base twice, set the first screen at 100 and top to screen 60. if it too bright for you, neither lower the top screen or delete it, or it not bright enough for you try to set the top layer at screen at 100%, if it still not bright enough duplicate it again. for me it only took two layers both set at screen and the top layer at 60% and the middle layer set at 100%

3. Now goes to Layer--->New Adjustment Layer--->Selective Color, set it with these setting....
