How about something like this?

Desaturates, adjusted levels, added vignetting to outside to give more focus...

maybe the orange spot light

[leschang]

my try, add sunray and crosshatch, darken the rocks on front.

Here's mine, not so drastic.

Sharpen/Contrast/Shadow&Highlight/Cool Down/Slight Vignette

my try..
to me, ur pic is already good enough, it just needed some touch up (adjusment on levels),sharpness and vibrancy (through saturation of colours).
If only i know how to do the sunray like leschang's i think it would be perfect. :D

[leschang]

the sunray was created by brushing few white lines, then blur it using zoom blur.

here is the details:

Sunray before and after:

Let’s do the work:

1. Create a new blank layer and draw a white stripes as shown:
http://fotokrazy.com/cms/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,26/action,dlattach/topic,1336.0/attach,1151/

2. Apply Filter > Blur > Radial Blur > Zoom.*
Adjust the Blur Center, amount and quality:

* repeat this step if necessary.

3. Overlay this layer to backgraound, adjust the opacity accordingly:
http://fotokrazy.com/cms/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,26/action,dlattach/topic,1336.0/attach,1155/
* you can simply add layer mask on Layer 1 to mask out some of the rays if needed.
and you’re done!
