Car and Castle

Star filters rock.
I have some fake star filters you can use in Photoshop (I know, all you photography purists can slam me for using PS).  If anyone wants them PM me with your email address.

I use them on jewelry sometimes, but you have to be careful, or they look fake.  I have started using the blur tool on the tips of the stars to make it more real.

Candlelight makes for some cool pictures.  I don't think the composition is really strong on your castle picture, maybe a different crop?

Edited to add:  There's no copyright on the star filter, so no worries there.  Someone asked, so I thought I would mention it here.
