*The boat I cut out from the original image and tilted it a bit. Fixed the edges with the clone stamp.

Then I added the lightnings and the stars. The lightnings got a blue colour overlay and some outer glow. The stars has got a rainbow gradient on. I also copied and pasted the small man on the left side then fliped him horizontal so he is now looking to the moon.
