This is one of the most important religious icons in Costa Rica. This church was built on the site where allegedly appeared the Virgin of The Angels, Costa Rica's most important catholic icon, about two centuries ago.

Great shot, I especially like the stillness I get when looking at the photo. Anyway, congrats on the 6.2 score, it's good!
I got the same exact "star" effects on my nightshots using F8 (star in discussion - top-right lamps) and I wonder if using a larger aperture fixes that - havent got the chance to try it out.
I think you tried to cover too much. It is a beautiful building, but people, cars take away from the total atmosphere. I think you should try to reshoot it focusing on part of the building only, or... wait for the people to desapear ;) The lamp on the left is unecessary.
