A series of effects:
bm - stands for blending mode;
op - stands for opacity;
1. High pass filter (for better definition): bm overlay, 60% op;
2. Vignette: bm overlay, 34% op;
3. Gradient map adjustment layer for coloring (green to yellow): bm luminosity, 78% op;
4. Selective color adjustment layer;
5. Two channel mixer adjustment layers: bm luminosity; one layer with 100% op, second one with 57% op;

Finally last step:
1. Added more lens flare on the helmet, right underneath the brains.
2. Added some highlights on hair and elements using a soft yellow brush. Added gaussian blur to them and changed bm to soft light.
3. Added a grunge texture: bm overlay, 25% op.
