Step 1

First let's reset your colors. Create a new document

Width: 450 Pixels
Height: 450 Pixels
Background: Background Color

Step 2

Now we are going to use the Lens Flare with the following settings:

Brightness: 115%
Lens Type: 50-300mm Zoom
Flare Center: Move the flare around by clicking on the thumbnail, position them to look roughly like what we have got below

You have to go to the lens flare filter every time you want to create a new flare. You will need to do it 2 more times. This is what yours should look like after applying the filter 2 more times.

Step 4

Duplicate the current layer. Then rotate 90°clockwise. Hit CTRL + U again and this time we want a nice orange color(Colorize Box: UnChecked | Hue: 40 | Saturation: 15 | Lightness: 0). Then change this layer's blending mode to Color Dodge.
