Breezy, I played with this specific image. Here's what I did :
1. cropping
2.play with the "level" a little bit
3.added "diffuse glow"-- Filter--Distort--Diffuse Glow. Settings: Graininess 2/glow amount 2/clear amount 16
4. played with "lighting effects" --go under Filter--Render--Lighting Effects--choose Flash Lights
5. the top image I added "midnight sepia v2" action. the bottom image "midnight black v2"
I downloaded some actions from here:

I think the background is a bit too "busy" and "crowded", that's why I cropped the image and applied the flash light effect to darken out the overwhelming background a little bit.

Hope you like them!
