This is how done it

First I setup the guides and with the Pen Tool I drew out the shape, then filled the shape with green, you can use and color, next I copied over the image on top of the background layer for color reference only.
I then made a selection of the shape with the Magic Wand Tool and selected the Gradient Tool, opened up the Gradient Editor and sampled colors from the reference image to setup the gradient.
I then added the gradient from left to right holding down the shift key

Result

If you want to use the guides like me you need to enable the Ruler using Ctrl + R
Then you can pull out the guides from here

Eggy can you post is please ?
BaluM,

I'm truly sorry BaluM but when I saw that Sam and gedstar already did posted their solutions I thought I was late so I deleted it. I can't undo it. I was buzy with several things at the same time. I have one excuse; I'm a man and can't multitask. :cry:

But it is like Sam Says, all in the pen tool! Learn to work the pen tool.

When drawing symmetrical shapes such as this, you only need to use one guide to mark the middle. Draw only half of the shape as an open path. Duplicate and flip the duplicated path horizontally and join it with the original.
